Venezuelan Protests Against Election Fraud

Widespread protests erupted in Venezuela following the controversial re-election claim by President Nicolas Maduro, which many believe to be fraudulent. Independent exit polls indicated that his main challenger, Edmundo Gonzalez, received significantly more votes, prompting opposition leaders to demand transparency and the release of voting records. The situation has attracted the attention of foreign officials, including those from the Biden administration, who are calling for fair counting of the votes and access for independent observers. The protests reflect deep public dissatisfaction and concern over the integrity of the democratic process in the country.
