🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪BREAKING: US DECLARES GONZÁLEZ VICTOR IN VENEZUELA ELECTION, REJECTS MADURO'S CLAIM Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken has issued a statement challenging Venezuela's official election results, declaring opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the true winner of the July 28 presidential election. Blinken states that the National Electoral Council's declaration of Maduro's victory is "deeply flawed" and lacks credibility. He cites opposition-published tally sheets from over 80% of polling stations, indicating González won by an "insurmountable margin," corroborated by independent observers and exit polls. The U.S. applauds the 12 million Venezuelans who voted despite challenges and rejects Maduro's allegations against opposition leaders. Blinken calls for the release of those arrested for peaceful participation and urges a peaceful transition. Source: U.S. Department of State
