Maduro's Disputed Win Spurs Unrest in Venezuela

News summary

Venezuela is facing significant unrest following President Nicolás Maduro's disputed re-election victory. Official results declared Maduro the winner with 51% of the vote, but the opposition claims their candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, secured over twice as many votes. This has led to widespread protests, with at least two people reported dead amid violent clashes. Both sides have called for their supporters to demonstrate, with opposition leader Maria Corina Machado urging peaceful protests and ruling party lawmaker Jorge Rodriguez accusing the opposition of inciting violence. Maduro has stated his government will confront violent actions, although he professes to support peace. The international community, including the US and EU, remains largely skeptical of the election's legitimacy, echoing past concerns over electoral fraud in Venezuela.
