Many stood in the rain chanting “Afuera” (Out) and “Libertad” (Freedom), while social media buzzed with images and calls to “knock down the dictator.”
The opposition has challenged Maduro’s victory, asserting that their candidate, Edmundo González, won with 70% of the vote.
The election has drawn international scrutiny, with numerous countries and organisations, including the UN, urging transparency and the release of polling data.
