Venezuela’s president says the country will not accept an attempt to “usurp his presidency again” in response to a challenge to his re-election from the opposition and the international community.
“We will not allow, according to national laws, that they ‘try again to usurp the presidency of the Republic,'” Nicolás Maduro said at a rally of support held in Caracas on Saturday in response to peaceful protests called by the opposition throughout the country.
Maduro was referring to the recognition by some countries of opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as “president-elect” five years after the same thing happened to opposition candidate Juan Guaidó in 2019 by part of the international community.
