🇨🇷🤝🇻🇪 — Costa Rica offers asylum to Venezuelans María Corina Machado and Edmundo González.

🇧🇴🌹🇻🇪🇻🇪 — Former Bolivian President Evo Morales expresses "full support" for Maduro and the results provided by the CNE in Venezuela:

"The statements by Deputy Héctor Arce do not represent the official position of MAS-IPSP. The Democratic and Cultural Revolution, led by the indigenous movement, is anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist by heritage and history.

In this sense, we have forged historical bonds of brotherhood and fraternity with the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela, which was led by our Commander Hugo Chávez and is now led by brother Nicolás Maduro. We reaffirm our full support for the popular victory celebrated this Sunday, certified by the National Electoral Council, and our solidarity commitment with the brave Venezuelan people."

🇧🇴🌹🇻🇪🇻🇪 — Evo Morales on 𝕏:

"We strongly condemn the new coup attempt against the legally and legitimately constituted government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Once again, international right-wing forces, along with the OAS, major corporations, and several media outlets, are trying to overturn by force what the people voted for in the ballot boxes. We are confident that the peace-loving Venezuelan people will uphold their sovereignty, freedom, democracy, and revolution. All our solidarity with President Nicolás Maduro, his government, and his people."

🇪🇸⚡️❌🇻🇪🇻🇪 — The leader of the Spanish party VOX, Santiago Abascal, states that the international community must pressure Nicolás Maduro to prevent the imprisonment of political opponents:

"The criminal Maduro and all those who remain silent are responsible for the physical integrity of María Corina Machado and the six asylum seekers from her team at the Argentine Embassy.

The international community must act decisively once and for all, starting with the European Union, which remains in disgraceful silence, and the corrupt family government in Spain.

We hope that Edmundo González will soon be recognized by all free nations as the elected and legitimate president of Venezuela.

VOX, the Disenso Foundation, and Foro Madrid will not stop in their commitment to the freedom and sovereignty of our Venezuelan brothers and sisters."

🇧🇷🤡✔️⭐🇻🇪🇻🇪 — The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, stated that his party, the Workers' Party (PT), has full authorization to take a political stance in favor of Nicolás Maduro.

💬 The statement came during an interview with TV Centro América, a Globo affiliate in Mato Grosso. During the conversation, the Executive was asked if the party had acted prematurely in issuing a statement recognizing Nicolás Maduro's victory in the Venezuelan elections.

“I believe that the PT did what it needed to do. The PT does not have to ask the government to take actions. The PT is a party with autonomy; even though it is my party, it does not need to ask for permission from me: ‘Lula, can I do this?’. No. Do what you believe is best. And the government does what it feels is best.”

🇺🇸❗️🇻🇪🇻🇪 — Brian A. Nichols, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, has rejected calls from Maduro and his inner circle to arrest Venezuelan opposition leaders Edmundo González and María Corina Machado

We reject calls by Maduro & his inner circle for the arrests of Venezuelan opposition leaders @EdmundoGU & @MariaCorinaYA. Venezuelans have the constitutional right to express their views freely & without reprisal. Actions to detain or arrest members of the democratic opposition show that lacking any evidence to back Maduro’s electoral claims, he resorts to repression. -BAN
