Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado called for independent, international verification of the July 28 election and urged protesters to stay in the streets. "There is nothing above the voice of the people and the people have spoken," she said.
Venezuela's electoral authority, the National Electoral Council (CNE), said that Maduro won just under 52% in this year's presidential election, securing him a third term. The opposition alleges that the CNE functions as an arm of Maduro's ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
Supporters of Venezuela's opposition gathered across the country and abroad to demand the recognition of Edmundo Gonzalez as president, alleging President Nicolas Maduro stole the July 28 election.
Demonstrations took place not only in Venezuela but also in countries like Spain, Australia, and Germany, showing the international support for the opposition's claims.
