Venezuela's opposition is calling on the population to take to the streets to protest when Nicolás Maduro is sworn in for a third presidential term on January 9.
"This day will go down in history as the day Venezuela said: Enough!", says opposition politician Maria Corina Machado, in a video clip on X published around midnight.
A short while later, sources for AFP reported that the outgoing US President Joe Biden will meet Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia in Washington. He is the presidential candidate who ran against Maduro and whom the opposition considers the winner. The reports of Biden's plans come just days after the government in Caracas offered a reward equivalent to 1.1 million kronor for information leading to Gonzalez Urrutia's capture, who is currently in exile.
The EU, USA, UN, and several neighboring countries have questioned Maduro's victory after the presidential election in July due to the incomplete disclosure of election data.
