Nicolás Maduro is set to be Venezuela's president until 2031

SeattlePI.com Friday, 10 January 2025 ()
President Nicolás Maduro is about to extend his increasingly repressive rule over Venezuela until 2031. Maduro will be sworn in on Friday despite credible evidence that his opponent won the latest election and following protests against his plan to serve a third six-year term. Hundreds of anti-Maduro protesters took to the streets of the capital on Thursday. Aides to opposition leader María Corina Machado said she was briefly detained by security forces and coerced into recording videos. The popular former lawmaker had been addressing the rally to demand that opposition candidate Edmundo González be sworn in as president instead of Maduro. The president's supporters called the reports of Machado's arrest fake news.
