Venezuela’s Public Ministry has initiated a criminal investigation into presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia and opposition leader María Corina Machado, as announced by the country’s Attorney General Tarek William Saab on Monday. The investigation was prompted by a public letter posted on social media by the two opposition figures, urging the military and police to align 'on the side of the people'.
Following the recent presidential election in Venezuela, the electoral body, perceived to be aligned with the regime, declared Nicolas Maduro as the winner without providing concrete evidence of his victory. In contrast, the opposition, which had shown strong support in pre-election polls, claims to have won by a significant margin.
