AI Summary:
Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration left his opponents to grapple with with conflicting feelings of hope and disappointment. Some described their mood after Friday’s ceremony like an emotional hangover. Others said they feel abandoned. Maduro compared himself to a biblical David fighting Goliath. He accused his opponents and their supporters of trying to turn his inauguration into a “world war”. The opposition collected tally sheets from 85% of electronic voting machines. “Today, Maduro didn’t put the sash on his chest. He put a shackle on his ankle, which will tighten every day,” she says. Machado was banned from running for office but remains the driving force behind Venezuela’s beleaguered opposition. She said security forces had briefly detained her after leaving the rally. González was in the Dominican Republic, which was supposed to the last stop on his tour of the Americas. In his video message, he told supporters that Maduro’s government will end “soon, very soon”.
