The European Union will not recognize President Nicolas Maduro’s claim to victory in the Venezuelan election until all ballots were counted and accounted for, said Josep Borrell, the bloc’s foreign policy chief.

European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Wednesday the bloc could not recognize the outcome of Venezuelan election until all votes were counted and records made available.

International criticism has mounted over Venezuela’s vote count that handed incumbent President Nicolas Maduro a narrow victory on Sunday.

Protesters have filled the streets since, with demonstrations turning violent on Monday as authorities in riot gear clashed with people in the capital Caracas.

Other cities saw protests too and at least 11 have died in connection with the protests in the country as of Wednesday, with hundreds more arrested.

        I heard a heiress with the original Magyar crown jewels was aboard the Titanic when it sunk. Maybe Orban will try to restore hungarian greatness by singlehandedly recovering them. That will finally make him loved and respected by all.

    Why rebellious dictators always need to play the democratic game, they should just be themselves…

    Dicators’ fake democracy would only be stable if they do not hurt the feeling of CIA. Like in many countries of Africa, guys can be elected for dozens of years and have many mansions in Europe and USA without any problem.

    Dicators need to choose.
