Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

Dictatorous thugs like Maduro will not allow to be voted out of office. Most likely he will need to get murdered to leave office. You know it's bad when Lula is chastizing him. Alberto Fernandez was supposed to go and help oversee elections but wasn't allowed to monitor when he said it needed to be free and fair and people's vote needed to be respected.

President Milei getting elected in Argentina has given people of other countries hope and courage to end communism. Hopefully in the next elections in other countries like Colombia and Brazil also elect out Communist leaders. Venezuela has much potential if they can get rid of these communists.

Hopefully, he is executed like Nicolae and Elene Ceausescu of Romania. Under a fair election sounds like he would have easily have lost.

Venezuela election live updates: Voters await results that will have ripple effects throughout Americas
President Nicolás Maduro, seeking a third term, faced his toughest challenge yet from a retired diplomat, Edmundo González.

He said there would be a blood bath and civil war if he loses. Hopefully it won't come to that and he just flees to Cuba. If he is finally pushed out things should turn around in that country. Tons of oil there. In the right hands, that country can be turned around.

Whether President Nicolás Maduro and diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia will recognize the validity of the result in the face of defeat remains to be seen

That would be wonderful. Especially for the 8 million or so that fled the country and would love to come home if things improve.

NO surprise at all. Maduro declares he won the election. What a fraud but not sure what anyone can do if the military continues to back him.
Until the people rise up and force him out and the military supports them, Venzuela is probably doomed to this dictator!

I often wonder if things improve there if the hundreds of thousands living in Buenos Aires would decide to go back home or they would stay here.

Saw that. Many governments around the world won't recognize Maduro. It is comical the official results that Venezuela announced. Total adds up to 132.2% and 8 parties got the same percentage. What a joke!

Unfortunate but not surprising outcome. Hopefully other leaders come out and challenge Maduro. I no like Macri but he very presidential with this message to Lula. Unfortunately Milei doesn't act like a President with Lula so others have to step in and act like President.

Boric says Maduro's victory in Venezuela's presidential election is hard “to believe”
Chilean President Gabriel Boric expressed serious doubts on Monday regarding the legitimacy of Venezuela's presidential election results, which declared incumbent President Nicolás Maduro the winner. Boric emphasized that his government would not recognize any outcome that could not be verified...
The problem with communism is you can vote your way into it but you can never vote your way out of it. The only way out of it is typically violence with the other side does not advocate so probably stuck in this mess for years to come.
The issue is that with Mercosur, Venezuelans can and do just flee to other countries easily. They don't have to stay there and deal with it. You cut off Mercosur or their immigration is restricted and it probably is a much different story.

The people are exhausted and are loudly demanding that their decision be respected. There are protests happening right now, and I hope they make a difference. No country is backing this fraudulent election; it’s truly shameful what has happened. They even prevented opposition officials from overseeing the voting process. How can the fraud be so blatant?

This may finally be their "1776" moment. Unfortunately, it will probably take bloodshed to get him out of power.
