There has been turmoil in Venezuela since the announcement of a disputed election result that handed a third consecutive term in power to President Nicolás Maduro.
The opposition says the result is fraudulent and that its candidate, Edmundo González, won the election by a wide margin. Gonzalez faces an arrest warrant for questioning over alleged election fraud.
The lawyer of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has been detained. Perkins Rocha also serves as legal adviser for the opposition Vente Venezuela party.
He is the latest person with links to the opposition to be seized in the aftermath of last month’s presidential election.
The government of Maduro has detained more than 2,400 people over the past month, creating what the UN has called “a climate of fear”.

It is an obvious fraud that was committed by Maduro. Since Chávez came into power, nearly 8M (near the population of Switzerland) has fled the country. Before that you would see the odd Venezuelan immigrant.
Mossad!
Coup attempt
Stop the sanctions that are crippling the economy.
Green terror in Taiwan
Well there's a shocker,communism at its finest
Reminds me of January 6th in America. Opps! My bad! That was an insurrection right MSM? This is different! Lol😊
The west must respect the choice of Venezuela people,,, Democracy have spoken,,, Madura won the election,,,,
If he won the people need to put him in power
If the USA didnt stick its nose in the elections…we all know why they tried for decades to overthrow Mudoro (biggest oil reserve) .. brought up bogus charges against him and sanctioned the entire country. The people of Venezuela need to wake up and realize that the west is not ur friend and the opposition is CIA agent!
Is this from the BBC’s Special Venezuelan correspondent which we are all paying for ?
Viva Venezuela 🇻🇪 abajo el imperialismo 🇺🇸
How did he win, ,is Mr. Gonzales able to run Venezuela
These foreign agents. Should have been ARRESTED ALREADY….
The opposition is trying to destabilize Venezuela so they can get control of the Bolivarian country's oil reserves, which isn't going to happen.
Who are any other countries to say who won 🇻🇪 Venezuelas elections WTF🤔
Venezuela has learned from America and the Biden administration.
Communist always try to arrest those who oppose communist and their ideology.
🇺🇸 B1 FBA
They are gonna kill him just like they're gonna kill trump. And then freedom and democracy truly die.
Once they do that, no one will dare to defy their dictatorship. And then they will start killing all the people.
Same game plan
Different country.
If you're not disgusted and enraged by it your part of the problem.
And now there will be a revolution.And they will say it's the opponent's fault.
😡🤬💀🤡🌎
And of course, this post is for entertainment and. Comedy only.
A fraudulent leader was put in power in Nigeria and I didn't hear anything about that .Once a leader does the bidding for the West he is democratically elected .People are turning away from the Western hypocrisy, people want development and not democracy.
Fraudster is embarrassed after he was exposed by opposition leader in an election result, to avoid further embarrassment and protest, widespread arrest and crack down is essential to continue stay as Venezuela president.
We were first. When Government becomes destructive it's the Citizens JOB to Abolish that Government by any means. Never TRUST anyone that turns off COMMENTS.
Same thing happened when Trump showed the election count that he won the election. Biden/Harris, like Maduro, said it was a lie. The high courts backed up Madura, Biden, and Harris. The elections were not "rigged". Venezuela opposition leader and election denier is now going thru what Trump has gone through in 2020. How do we say that in America? "No one is above the law"? If venezueal wants to save democracy, they need to do what we did, arrest the opposition leader and election denier and send him to prison.
Pay attention US your getting ready to go through the samething with the pos biden harris administration 😮😮😮
INEPT PEOPLE ….. I went in 1990 and it wasn't anything like they described (most of it looked like a third world slum … at least caracas). I'm not the least bit surprised. What can one expect from a country that has every resource available (including the largest reserves of oil), and end up THE WORST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY OF THE MODERN WORLD !!!!! AGAIN, TOTAL INEPTITUDE !!!!
Arresting political opponents on demonstrably false charges is a sign of autocracy.
They learned from Biden/Harris and the left here in American what to do with your political opponents. Lefties love to use lawfare.
The opposition? You mean the actual winners?
The media supported by the fraud carried out with the dollar are desperate about the possibility of Venezuela joining the Brics economic group.
Does anyone notice how the BBC treat Trump compared to this 😩😩😩
