Pedro Brunelli, a Latin America analyst, emphasized the predictable nature of the arrest warrant against Gonzalez, noting, "Since Maduro opted to steal the election, he now has to follow through with it. What we've seen since the election is, on the one hand, evidence that he lost and on the other increasing repression in a country where repression has actually been the norm for the past 15 years." He insists that Maduro is now taking actions to cover up his loss.
The tension in Venezuela escalated after the election results when the National Electoral Council, comprised of Maduro loyalists, declared him the winner amidst widespread allegations of irregularities. Maduro's claim of victory is largely rejected by the opposition and global observers, while the CNE's inability to provide evidence for its claims of hacked electoral data further questions the integrity of the results.
