Venezuela’s Opposition cornered as Gonzales flees and Maduro digs in

Venezuela’s opposition is struggling to challenge President Nicolas Maduro’s re-election, with key figures fleeing into exile or hiding. The disputed election results have not been backed up with detailed voting records, leading to accusations of fraud from the opposition. Mr. Maduro, firmly in control, shows no signs of negotiating with the opposition. International allies and the US have failed to find a peaceful solution to the crisis, with sanctions being the primary form of pressure. The country is in turmoil, with economic collapse and political repression driving millions to flee. Despite protests and international condemnation, Mr. Maduro seems determined to hold onto power at any cost.
