The Venezuelan Supreme Court released on Thursday its final ruling on President Nicolas Maduro's disputed appeal involving the presidential elections held on July 28.

After verifying the Court's jurisdiction to settle electoral problems, Judge Caryslia Rodriguez certified the results of the elections given by Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) in an unconstrained and unequivocal way.

She read the sentence with justices Fanny Marquez and Inocencio Figueroa from the Electoral Chamber. Based on the findings of the expert assessment, Rodriguez stated that the CNE results bulletins are compatible with the reports of the election machines.

As a result, the Supreme Court confirmed that President Nicolas Maduro was reelected as President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

The Judge further emphasized that, under the rule of law, the Supreme Court has the ability to analyze election results and decide any issues that may arise. Other worldwide examples of Supreme Court involvement in electoral disputes include the presidential elections in Mexico in 2024 and Brazil in 2023.

According to Rodriguez, 33 of the 38 political organizations interested in the elections attended the Electoral Chamber's hearings and presented their electoral paperwork. She also stated that nine of ten presidential contenders attended the hearings. Edmundo Gonzalez, the Democratic Unitary Platform's previous candidate, did not attend any hearings and was found in contempt for failing to follow the constitutional order.

Maduro claims victory over fascism and coup leaders

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced that the nation was successful in thwarting a coup, standing firmly against fascism and violence across the country.

In his address to supporters on Sunday, President Maduro noted that the day saw massive gatherings in more than 100 cities across Venezuela, emphasizing that the people are fully aware of what they are defending. He stressed that they are standing up for their homeland and their right to a secure present and future.

He highlighted that his country achieved three major victories in a single day: The first against influential figures in Miami (Florida), the second against opposition figure Edmundo Gonzalez, who is reportedly preparing to flee Venezuela, and the third against opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.

The Venezuelan President reaffirmed his respect for the moderate democratic opposition, which, he noted, did not endorse the actions of the "fascist opponents". He emphasized that paid social media influencers backing the opposition are disconnected from the people, lack popular support, and have no connection to the national cause.

Maduro reached out to those who supported the opposition but were misled, saying, “Let us unite. I extend my hand to you so we can work together and build a prosperous Venezuela.”

He also urged the Bolivarian and Chavista supporters to "continue strengthening our movement at the grassroots level."
