Peru Recognizes González Urrutia as Winner of Venezuelan Elections
Maduro wants to stay in power forever through a dictatorship, González Olaechea stressed
The Peruvian government officially recognized opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the rightful president-elect of Venezuela. Despite the National Electoral Council’s announcement of Nicolás Maduro’s win, Peru stands firm in its support for González Urrutia. Foreign Minister Javier Gonzalez Olaechea emphasized the need to respect the will of the Venezuelan people and denounced alleged election fraud.
Peru’s Foreign Minister highlighted the significant difference in votes in favor of González Urrutia and vowed to support the opposition campaign. This move is part of joint efforts by several countries in the region to uphold democracy in Venezuela and counter Maduro’s attempt to establish a dictatorship. In response, Maduro dismissed González Urrutia as “Guaidó 2.0,” referencing the fading support for the previous interim president.
