US disqualifies Maduro’s victory
This after the TSJ validated the regime’s elections.
Here are the details.

The United States government on Friday rejected the ratification by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) of Venezuela of the victory of Nicolás Maduro in the presidential elections of July 28, calling it «incredible.»

In a statement, the U.S. State Department said the TSJ’s ruling lacks credibility, noting that independent evidence shows that the true winner of the election was opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia.

«Publicly available and independently verified records show that Venezuelan voters have elected Edmundo Gonzalez as their future leader,» the statement said.

The Supreme Court, controlled by pro-Chavez judges, confirmed on Thursday that Maduro had won the election, concluding in an «unequivocal and unrestricted» manner the review of the results.

This resolution comes 22 days after Maduro requested the process through an appeal for protection, to which the ten former presidential candidates were summoned.

The State Department also urged Maduro to release those detained for exercising their right to free expression and warned that attempts to fraudulently claim victory will only escalate the crisis in Venezuela.

He also called on the Venezuelan parties to begin discussing a peaceful transition in accordance with electoral law.

«The United States and the international community will continue to stand up for Venezuelan voters, whose will and rights have been undermined since July 28.

«We stand ready to support an inclusive process led by Venezuela to restore democratic norms,» the statement concluded.
