EU diplomats, skeptical on Maduro’s election victory, to meet Tuesday
European diplomats will on Tuesday discuss President Nicolás Maduro’s self-proclaimed victory in Venezuela’s presidential election as leaders around the world decline to recognize his reelection.
Against a backdrop of widespread skepticism around the veracity of Maduro’s party’s claim to have won 51 percent of votes, and calls by many for a transparent counting of the ballots, the European Council’s Working Party on Latin America and the Caribbean will meet at 10 a.m. Brussels time.
“The people of Venezuela voted on the future of their country peacefully and in large numbers,” the European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, wrote on X. “Their will must be respected.”
