Nicolás Maduro blames Venezuela's election unrest on US and far-right conspiracy

Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has gone on the offensive after suspicions that he stole last Sunday’s presidential election plunged Venezuela into turmoil and diplomatic isolation, blaming the unrest on a far-right conspiracy being spearheaded by “perverse and macabre” political foes.

Maduro said that he would be willing to restart talks with the United States if Washington shows Venezuela due respect, while at the same time blaming them for helping cause the unrest.

Blames far right .. sounds like the bbc

[gefernandes]

He blames everyone but himself. It’s time to go. Crippled the whole country, 1/3rd population have to flee and the remaining are starving. Truly the devil himself.

not to support this guy but the USA wants OIL, it also has its interests

[DarthQuantum-ezqz]

Typical dictator - all the problems are always someone else's fault, never accept any responsibility for his own shortcomings and bad policies.

[TheDayAfter]

The more the US tries to make regime change in Venezuela, the more Maduro stays in power! NGO's/CIA/NED/USAID/IRI are desperated to put there hands in Venezuela's oil again ... All this is because of the oil. The faster we understand this the better ....

maduro lost. VENEZUELANS FIGHT FOR YOUR VOTE AND THROW HIM OUT

[stand.with.Iranians]

10000 mile away from you, we Iranians pray for people of Venezuela and want a democratic government for the people. Every dictator has an expiry date. Time for Maduro is ticking.

Buy a mirror Maduro, people can’t eat at your country.

[janesansome]

No he lost he rigged the results time to leave.

[BlauZa]

Anyone else thought that was Saddam Hussein?

[JaxonSmith-sgrd]

Maduro does not care about Venezuelans at all, get him out!

[Noallegiance]

The cry of the modern politician - "I've been in charge for years and will continue to be so but none of this is my fault"

[billymcg]

phenomenal oil reserves, yet his people starve, i bet he has a nice bank account when he is overthrown

[deathsentence]

It was USA and it was dominion Democrats not the far right..

[Emeraldtheblackdavid]

The US, where we are too busy with our own shitshow election, civil unrest, and assassination, attempts to worry about this. He knows its Coasta Rica and the DR that are pressing him the hardest, balming the "Norteamericanos" is just a classic fallback.

[avajessica]

I’m no Maduro fan but the 🇺🇸obsession with meddling in other countries needs to stop

[harryvarner]

What kind of voting machines do the use in Venezuela?

[paulodemelo]

The Brazilian president Lula says Maduro is not a Dictator.

[richardanson]

Sounds very familiar the Guardian should know all about this tactic.

[ErikaYost-nl]

All it would take is 6 Of our troops to show him what a threat is
