AI Summary:
Nicolás Maduro will extend his increasingly repressive rule over Venezuela until 2031 when he is sworn in on Friday. On Thursday, aides to opposition leader Mara Corina Machado said she was briefly detained by security forces and coerced into recording videos. She had emerged from months of hiding to join the rally to demand that opposition candidate Edmundo González be reworn in as president. Leaders in the Americas and Europe condemned the government for the opposition collected tally sheets from more than 80% of electronic voting machines. The court reaffirmed Maduro’s victory without providing thorough evidence. But neither the council nor the ruling party produced any evidence that the opposition-published tallies had won. González says his son-in-law Rafael Tudares was kidnapped in Caracas. His daughter suggested the government was behind her husband’s disappearance.
