Reuters and Associated Press Biden’s comments reportedly came in response to comments by far-left Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Colombian President Gustavo Petro. Suggested Venezuela will hold a second election following a fraudulent vote in July as a way to resolve the country’s ongoing political crisis.
Socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro has repeatedly claimed that he “won” a fake election, even as electoral officials loyal to him continue to refuse to release voter data or any kind of documentation that could prove his “victory.”
Venezuela’s opposition party announced that its candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, had defeated Maduro in a landslide victory. Published Voter tally data collected from polling stations across the country showed that Mr Gonzalez beat Mr Maduro by more than 35 percentage points.
VOA Reported On Thursday, the Biden administration told VOA that President Biden “interpreted VOA’s questions differently.” A National Security Council spokesperson “reiterated the Biden administration’s position” to VOA in an email, claiming that Biden was “speaking about the absurdity of President Maduro and his surrogates not being honest about the July 28 elections.”
“It is clear to the majority of Venezuelans, the United States, and a growing number of countries that Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia received the most votes on July 28,” the spokesman was quoted as saying by VOA. “The United States reiterates its call for the will of the Venezuelan people to be respected and for discussions to begin on a return to democratic norms.”
VOA said in its report that the spokesperson “did not clearly state Biden’s position on whether to rerun the election.”

White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said on social media: post “President Maduro and his representatives must speak honestly about Venezuela’s July 28 elections.”
“It is abundantly clear that Edmundo González Urrutia received the most votes,” Savet’s message read. “We ask that the will of the people be respected and that a debate be started to return to democratic norms.”
Maduro Accused After Washington reiterated that it considered Gonzalez the winner of a fraudulent election, Maduro accused the U.S. of wanting to “have the vote” in Venezuela. Maduro called on Biden to focus on the “many problems” the U.S. faces.
The socialist dictator also commented on the White House’s retraction of Biden’s comments regarding a proposal to replay the election.
“President Biden made interventionist statements about Venezuela’s internal affairs, only to have some of his spokespeople deny it 30 minutes later,” Maduro said. “After all, who governs the United States?”
Prior to Biden’s remarks and the White House concession, Brazilian President Lula da Silva told a local Brazilian radio station: Suggested President Maduro may demand a repeat of the fraudulent elections or form a new “coalition government” with Venezuela’s opposition in the coming months.
Lula maintained that for now, “we don’t know who won the election because the results have not yet been announced by Venezuela’s electoral authorities.” The far-left president insisted that “we don’t know who won the election because the results have not yet been announced.” [the] data.”
“There are several solutions. One is a coalition government, a coalition government with the opposition,” Lula said. “In my government there are many people who did not vote for me and many who voted for me.”
“Everyone will be involved. [coalition] “Maduro has been in power for six months. Common sense would allow him to set up an electoral commission made up of the opposition and observers from around the world and call for new elections,” he continued.
Lula’s “proposal” is highly favorable to Maduro Echoed Colombian President Gustavo Petro has similarly called for the formation of a coalition government and a fake new election in Venezuela, as well as for all sanctions imposed on the Maduro regime to be lifted and for rogue socialists to be granted a “general amnesty.”
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado Rejected He condemned Lula and Petro’s proposal for new elections and accused them of a “lack of respect” for voting to oust Maduro.
“What if President Maduro doesn’t want a second election? Have a third election? Would you accept that in your country? We held elections under the rules of tyranny,” Machado said. “To propose new elections would be an insult to the Venezuelan people and to July 28.”
Machado also rejected the idea of a coalition government, explaining that “we need to be careful because the political differences are so great that we cannot share power.” pointed out The examples of other countries that have formed coalition governments do not apply to Venezuela because government officials in those countries were not involved in criminal activities.
