Chile’s Boric finds Maduro’s victory ‘hard to believe’ and Costa Rica’s Chaves rejects it outright

[ASSOCIATED PRESS] – Chile’s President Gabriel Boric said that Maduro’s government “must understand” that the results giving him the victory “are difficult to believe,” and he added that his government won’t recognize “any result that is not verifiable.”

He said on his X account that the international community and the Venezuelan people demand “total transparency” of the tallies.

Chile’s foreign affairs minister added on X, “given the situation in Venezuela, we think its important to wait for the opinion of international observers.”

In a statement on X, Costa Rica’s President Rodrigo Chaves rejected Maduro’s win.

“We will work with the democratic countries across the continent and international organizations to achieve the respect the Venezuelan people deserve,” he said.
