Venezuela is on edge once again as fresh protests are expected to take place following the controversial ratification of President Nicolas Maduro’s election victory. The outcome of the election has been widely disputed, with a growing number of nations recognizing Maduro’s opposition rival as the true winner.
FRANCE 24 Español correspondent Herminia Fernández is on the ground in Caracas, Venezuela, providing the latest updates on the situation. Tensions are high in the country as supporters of both Maduro and the opposition prepare to take to the streets to voice their grievances.
The disputed election results have only added to the political instability and economic crisis that has been plaguing Venezuela for years. Many citizens are struggling to access basic necessities such as food and medicine, while hyperinflation continues to devastate the economy.
As the situation in Venezuela remains volatile, the international community is closely watching to see how events unfold. The fate of the country hangs in the balance as protesters on both sides of the political divide continue to demand change and accountability from their leaders.

Revolution is the only chance Venezuela to get out of poverty.
And now if the best chance, because US and Europe is looking for an alternative for Russian oil.
The United States is always on the wrong side of freedom,they only want whoever they choose to be in government to plunder the country's weath and other resources, Donald Trump says it clearly.
God bless Democracy, even though i might not agree with this result, i will sacrifice my life to defend democracy
Supreme Court, CNE all regime controlled for many years. Chavism destroyed everything Venezuela it's a Cuba proxy with a brutal dictatorship.
I support Maduro! Look at how the US treated black peoples no outcry from the world!
They are not planning an attack!!!!!
They can protest all they want it doesnt matter it will take them nowhere as longer the army and the police are on the side of the Chavistas that what count! So uncle Sam sorry but the oil you're desperate to grab is far reach
without weapons nothing happened
You can vote a Communist into office but good luck voting them out.
What the news fail to mention is that the electoral organization and the Supreme Court are all under Maduro’s control. It is important that international news highlight this fact otherwise the efforts of the Venezuelan people are belittled.
Why do DW says Maduro's win? Edmundo won the élections in Venezuela 72% and Maduro is killing people because he doesn't want to accept he lost.
Whoever has the armed forces loyalty will win. All these protesting will not amount to anything, unless the military withdraws their support on Maduro. That's how it usually goes, in dictator run countries.
Venezuelans rather run to america than protest for freedom of their country
I thought Juan Guaido was president.
Cant we send some Ukrainian special forces… i mean if Maduro is using Wagner cant we also use some commandos?
The Americans derailed an electoral process in Haiti, in 2010, to impose their guy as president; thus contributing to make an already bad situation worse. Now, the country is dying.
Venezuelans, I mean the progressive ones, are well aware of that and should do whatever they can to protect their homeland.
ICC sent over 900 staff to oversee the election. The USA makes it seem that there were two candidates running yet there were 10 candidates running and 8 of the candidates agreed with the outcome except for the one backed by the USA who received less than 13% of the vote.
As part of a new coup attempt in Venezuela, the US has recognized opposition leader Edmundo González as supposed president, after Trump tried to impose puppet Juan Guaidó in 2019. The State Department cited only US government-funded sources to accuse President Maduro of "electoral fraud".
The empire tries to impose new puppet government in Venezuela
Hopefully the will of the people will be carried out and the actual result of the election established and respected. It seems almost certain that Maduro did not get the majority of the vote – he should stop cheating his people and step down.
USA LEAVE VENEZUELA ALONE
And stop financing tge oposition crackheads
Corrupt government supported by Russia.. Maduro is a terrorist.. you need to continue protesting Venezuela 💪💪
Venezuelan here, why don't you call things the way they are? Everyone knew Maduro would fake the election results in his favor before we went to vote, the opposition party collected all proof that Edmundo Gonzales won. They want to steal the presidency and we won't let them get away with this.
Translation : USA fanning another color revolution?? 😂😂
