The U.S. warns that it will hold accountable those responsible for electoral fraud in Venezuela.

The United States government has once again pressured the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela, in the hands of the Chavistas, to publish the official evidence of the results of the elections held on July 28, in which Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner.

"More than three weeks after the elections on July 28, Nicolás Maduro and his representatives continue to refuse to publish the original minutes that reflect the true aspirations of Venezuelans for the future of their country," wrote Brian A. Nichols, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, on the social network X.

The diplomat also stated that "the United States will hold accountable those who allow electoral fraud and repression."

Meanwhile, he reaffirmed that "the will of the Venezuelan people must be respected."

The proclamation of President Nicolás Maduro as the winner of the elections held in Venezuela has been met with skepticism by the majority of democratic countries, accusing the regime of irregularities in the voting process, an issue that remains unresolved almost a month later.

Last Saturday, Venezuelan citizens and supporters in more than 150 cities around the world gathered in a large global protest to denounce electoral fraud.

In what they called the "Great Global Protest for Truth," the protesters demanded transparency in the electoral results and reaffirmed that Venezuela won, in support of the opposition candidate Edmundo González and opposition leader María Corina Machado.

A few weeks ago, it was reported that the United States had offered the leader a deal with extensive guarantees for his person, provided that he accepts his defeat and initiates a process of peaceful transition to democracy in Venezuela.

The Biden administration would be willing to offer the Venezuelan dictator "whatever he wants" as long as he stops the repression of opponents and protesters, presents the records supporting the results of the past elections transparently, and acknowledges the will for change of the Venezuelan people.

However, Maduro rejected this initiative and has continued with his repression and violence against those who do not accept his victory, including threatening rhetoric against opponents and the population that does not share his dictatorial ideas.
