Maduro's hold on power persists despite losing the election, as he employs violent repression and arrests thousands of opponents, demonstrating the regime's resilience in face of international pressure.
The U.S. has shifted approaches with Venezuela's Maduro, initially offering sanctions relief for fair elections, now escalating its measures by seizing assets and considering more sanctions amid continued oppression.
Independent polling indicated a two-to-one victory for challenger Edmundo González, yet Maduro's regime has claimed victory and intensified crackdowns on dissent, drawing heavy criticism from human rights organizations.
With the appointment of Diosdado Cabello to lead police forces and a judge's order for González's arrest, Maduro's regime is preparing for a further crackdown on the opposition.
