According to the governor of the border state of Táchira, the border will be closed until Monday morning on Maduro's orders.

We have information about an international conspiracy to disrupt the peace of the Venezuelans, says Governor Freddy Bernal.

The past few days have seen unrest in the country ahead of Maduro's third inauguration as president. On Thursday, opposition leader María Corina Machado was arrested during a protest against Maduro in the capital Caracas. She was later released.

The Russian Duma's speaker Vyacheslav Volodin is attending today's inauguration, reports the news agency Interfax.

The EU, USA, UN, and several neighboring countries have expressed doubts about Maduro's victory in the presidential election in July and point out that the election data has not been fully disclosed.
