A stolen election is nothing new in Venezuela, they have been doing this for years. Not only do they jail opponents, but kill them as well. However, the most recent election may have a different outcome. A populist uprising can trigger a critical mass of Venezuelans which will be too much for the military to handle.

Argentina’s Milei rallies Venezuelan opposition despite Maduro’s ‘ugly’ attacks

Argentinian President Javier Milei has emerged as a powerful ally of the Venezuelan anti-government protests as international pressure mounts to award the recent presidential election to the opposition.

Leaders from around the world, including the U.S., have cast doubt on Nicolas Maduro’s claim that he won the election, and protesters have clashed with police in the streets of the embattled South American nation. Milei was among the first world leaders to speak out after the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council handed victory to the incumbent with an alleged margin of 51%, compared to 44% support for the opposition. Pre-election polling (which is illegal in the country) indicated that opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez received double the votes of Maduro.

The U.S. eventually recognized Gonzalez as the winner after claiming to have reviewed tally sheets, but Milei had immediately blasted the election result as a “fraud carried out and perpetrated by the dictator Nicolás Maduro.” 

Maduro went off the deep end by denigrating Milei saying he had a “Monster Face.” “Called him an Ugly Guy too and stupid.” But Maduro had more to say, “labeled him a Nazi, fascist guy, a cowardly bug and a traitor to the homeland.”
