Pres. Maduro Says He May Start New Revolution Amid Venezuelan Election Dispute

HeadlineAug 01, 2024

In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro says he could call for a “new revolution” if the U.S. and others continue to challenge his win in Sunday’s election. Maduro spoke Wednesday from Caracas.

President Nicolás Maduro: “The United States, with its false diplomacy, moved around the world to set up this scenario in Venezuela. I have to say it all. We negotiated with the United States in good faith, and they did not comply. They are liars and phonies.”

The U.S., Colombia, Brazil and others have called on Venezuela to release vote tallies. Maduro’s rivals have claimed they have proof that Edmundo González received more votes, but have not made this evidence public. Human Rights Watch says it is verifying at least 20 “credible” death reports in post-election protests.
