The Venezuelan opposition has spoken out against President Nicolás Maduro, claiming that the upcoming elections in the country are set to be fraudulent. The opposition believes that Maduro is manipulating the electoral process by handpicking his opponents and using tactics such as dead people voting and arbitrary changes of addresses to secure his victory.

María Corina Machado, a prominent opposition figure, has been disqualified from running in the elections until 2036, despite not having a final sentence against her. The opposition also fears that any candidate who poses a threat to Maduro will be disqualified or imprisoned before the elections take place.

International rejection of Maduro’s regime is growing, with leaders such as Lula and Macron criticizing the ban on Corina Yoris’ candidacy. The economic situation in Venezuela is dire, with 82% of the GDP destroyed in the past seven years, making it the poorest country in Latin America.

Despite the challenges faced by the opposition, there is still hope for change in Venezuela. The opposition remains determined to fight against Maduro’s regime and bring about a solution to the country’s crisis.

Meanwhile, in Peru, President Dina Boluarte is facing scrutiny over her possession of expensive items that she allegedly cannot account for with her official salary. Politicians are calling for her resignation, highlighting the issues of corruption and instability in the country’s leadership. Peru has a history of rapidly changing presidents, raising concerns about political stability and governance in the country.
