US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a significant statement on Thursday regarding the recent Venezuelan presidential election. Blinken asserted that the opposition candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia, not the incumbent socialist leader Nicolás Maduro, emerged victorious in the election held on July 28.
Blinken emphasized that based on compelling evidence, it is evident to the United States and, more importantly, to the Venezuelan people that González Urrutia secured the majority of votes in the election. This declaration comes amidst widespread protests sparked by Maduro's claim of victory and subsequent threats against the opposition.
