    At least a dozen people have been killed as protests over Venezuela’s presidential election continue. Local media outlets said more than 700 people have been arrested.

    Authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro accused opposition leader María Corina Machado and presidential candidate Edmundo González of “criminal violence."

    Protesters are demanding Maduro make voting data from Sunday’s, July 28, election public. Venezuela’s opposition and multiple Latin American leaders are refusing to recognize Maduro’s victory.

    Machado said on Monday the country’s opposition had about 73% of the voting tallies from Sunday’s election, proving Maduro did not win.

    The national electoral authority has proclaimed Maduro the winner , giving him a third term in office and extending 25 years of socialist party rule.
