“Opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro took to the streets Wednesday in an attempt to revive protests against him as he tightens his grip on power following last month’s disputed election. The demonstrations in the capital, Caracas, come exactly a month after the fraught July 28 vote in which Maduro was declared the winner despite strong evidence that opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez won by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, which drew international condemnation that the vote lacked transparency. In weeks of on-again, off-again demonstrations, the opposition’s rallying cry has been constant but so far ineffective. Opponents have demanded that election officials publish results from each polling station that they say would expose Maduro’s attempts to steal the election.” (08/28/24)
