As Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration approaches, tensions rise as the opposition encourages nationwide protests. Scheduled for January 10, 2025, Maduro’s inauguration follows a contested election, which opposition leader Edmundo Machado claims was marred by irregularities. In response to these events, former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning, calling for international scrutiny over the electoral process. Trump has urged for the world to hold Maduro accountable, asserting that the regime has stripped Venezuelans of their rights and freedoms. The opposition plans to mobilize supporters for demonstrations across the country, rallying civil society and various organizations to voice dissent against the government, which they accuse of corruption and mismanagement. Maduro defended his presidency, vowing to continue his policies despite the controversies surrounding his electoral legitimacy. Political analysts anticipate significant unrest and international reactions as the inauguration date approaches.
