Venezuela: An Electoral Fraud
Maduro is a communist, and communists rarely give in to the demands of justice.

President Petro seeks to give Maduro breathing room in which to consolidate his regime of terror.
Doubting the integrity of opposition figureheads puts a gloss on the regime’s cruelty.
The regime’s internal fracture may spell the end for Chavismo.
The move puts further pressure on national governments—particularly Spain’s—to do the same.
Tensions have been growing since Spain offered asylum to opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez.
“What should the international community do? Edmundo González won the Venezuelan election, there is nothing more to talk about. He is the president-elect.”
Spain’s socialist government seems to be trying to play both sides, as it has also refused to recognise Edmundo González as the legitimate winner of the Venezuelan election.
China supports Maduro so it can recover the multimillion-dollar investments it made in Venezuela. But the Chinese Fund only served to swell the pockets of corrupt officials.
Delaying any longer gives Maduro the upper hand.
