During an interview on Radio T, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expressed his refusal to recognize Nicolás Maduro as the winner of Venezuela's recent presidential election. President Lula suggested that Maduro, who still has six months left in his term, could demonstrate good judgment by calling for new elections, establishing an electoral committee, and allowing international observers to monitor the process.
While many countries have accepted the election results, Brazil, along with Colombia and Mexico, has maintained a neutral stance. The three nations have urged Venezuela's electoral body to release thousands of vote tally sheets to verify the outcome.
