Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has published a letter in which she says she is under protection because she feels threatened. This comes after an OAS resolution was failed, which demanded that Venezuelan authorities immediately publish the minutes of the presidential elections.
This is the resolution that required Venezuelan authorities to immediately publish the minutes of Sunday’s elections, which did not obtain the necessary support to be approved by the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), after nations such as Brazil and Colombia abstained from voting, and others were absent, such as Mexico.
Through his X account, President Gustavo Petro wanted to explain the reason for Colombia’s abstention in this vote.
It is not a foreign government that should decide who is the president of Venezuela.
It is up to Venezuelans to reach a political agreement to end the violence in their country and to establish a transparent way in which a vote count can be carried out…

In the same style as Petro, María Corina Machado responded to the president’s publication.
That’s right, Mr. President Petro, and the people of Venezuela have already decided.
Today, all Venezuelans and the entire world know this, and it can be verified, voting record by voting record, here:

In recent hours, the opposition leader warned that she feels threatened by the Nicolás Maduro regime and that she fears for her life, a situation that forced her to limit her public appearances.
