Protesters took to the streets after Maduro was declared winner of the disputed poll
CARACAS – Venezuela's opposition said it had voting-tally proof it had won the election claimed by President Nicolas Maduro, as anti-government protests erupted across the country, with police firing tear gas to disperse protesters in the capital Caracas.
In Caracas, heavily armed police sent protesters running when they fired tear gas to disperse a crowd, while other police erected barriers with long shields and batons. "We already know this movie, so once more, long with the civil, military and police union we are acting. We already know how they operate."
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino warned against allowing a repeat of the "terrible situations of 2014, 2017 and 2019". Anti-government protesters took to the streets those years and hundreds were killed.Electoral authorities said on Monday that Maduro had won a third term as president with 51% of the vote, extending a quarter-century of socialist rule.
Uruguay's Foreign Minister Omar Paganini told CNN in an interview on Monday that his government will "never" recognize Maduro as the winner, saying the opposition had clearly won.
