Hindustan Times  

CARACAS, Venezuela — Criticism of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro mounted Tuesday, a day after electoral authorities declared him the winner in a presidential election that the opposition claims to have won by a landslide. Criticism mounts against Venezuela's Maduro and the electoral council that declared him a victor Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, standing a top a truck in the capital, Caracas, called on the National Electoral Council, which is loyal to the ruling party, to release voting tally sheets produced by every voting precinct, asking “why don't they publish them?” Machado said the opposition coalition has obtained more than 84% of the tallies and that she is confident that opposition candidate Edmundo González was chosen to be the new president in Sunday's election. Enough of the persecution.” The Organization of American States chastised Maduro for his government's sustained repression of the opposition, and lambasted the National Electoral Council not releasing the precinct-level results. “An attempt is being made to impose a coup d’état in Venezuela again of a fascist and counterrevolutionary nature.” “We already know this movie and this time there will be no kind of weakness,” he added, saying that Venezuela’s “law will be respected.” In the port city of La Guaira, people toppled a statue of Maduro's mentor and predecessor, Hugo Chavez, dragged it to the street and set it on fire during Monday's protests.
