Venezuela on Friday was bracing for weekend protests, both from the opposition which disputes Nicolas Maduro's reelection, and the president's supporters, whom he has called to participate in the "mother of all marches" to back his win.
Uruguay and Argentina said they recognized opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as the president-elect of Venezuela, joining the United States and Peru in rejecting the official results which showed Maduro had been reelected.
