The Venezuelan Supreme Court's recent ruling confirming Nicolás Maduro's victory in the July 28 presidential elections has sparked widespread international criticism. Several countries, including the United States, European Union, and Latin American nations, have called for the release of voting tallies, questioning the credibility of the election results. Opposition leader María Corina Machado has urged the international community to hold Maduro accountable, while Brazil and Colombia have issued a joint statement demanding transparency in the electoral process. The Venezuelan government, however, maintains its stance, with Maduro's administration dismissing foreign interference and asserting the legitimacy of the election results.
