CARACAS, Venezuela — President Nicolás Maduro on Wednesday asked Venezuela’s Supreme Court to conduct an audit of the presidential election after opposition leaders disputed his claim of victory, drawing criticism from foreign observers who said the court is too close to the government to produce an independent review.
The Carter Center criticized Maduro's audit request, saying the court wouldn’t provide an independent review. Maduro insisted to reporters that there had been a plot against his government and that the electoral system was hacked, but he didn’t give any specifics or present any evidence. He is expected to address national and foreign media Wednesday afternoon, his first official news conference since the election.
Lula said of Maduro on Tuesday that “the more transparency there is, the greater his chance of having peace to govern Venezuela.” Petro proposed that Maduro's government and the opposition reach an agreement “that allows for the maximum respect of the force that has lost the elections.” The agreement, he said, could be submitted to the United Nations Security Council.
