Argentina's Milei rallies Venezuelan opposition despite Maduro's 'ugly' attacks
Fox News
Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro continues to insist on his victory and resist international pressure to step down and hand victory to the opposition candidate.
"He's been very, very helpful, and he has been kind of like a rallying voice in South America to allow him, along with the left, the opposition of healing work and kind of pushing other democracies to recognize Edmundo as president," Daniel Acosta Rivas, an OSINT Analyst, told Fox News Digital. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Rivas said that Milei’s vocal support has "been coming into Venezuela and especially in the diaspora."
Milei was among the first world leaders to speak out after the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council handed victory to the incumbent with an alleged margin of 51%, compared to 44% support for the opposition. Pre-election polling (which is illegal in the country) indicated that opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez received double the votes of Maduro.
