International reactions to the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election of Incumbent President Nicolás Maduro on 28 July 2024 emerged from around the world, including from states and international institutions.

Polls conducted before the election indicated that González would win by a wide margin. After the government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) announced partial results showing a narrow Maduro victory on 29 July, world leaders predominantly expressed skepticism of the claimed results and did not recognize the CNE claims;[1][2][3] however, The Washington Post reported that "Russia, China, Iran and Cuba were among those to congratulate Maduro".[2] Both González and Maduro proclaimed themselves winners of the election. The election has been disputed by the opposition. The declaration of Maduro as the winner was quickly followed by a mixture of scepticism and criticism from the leaders of most Latin American countries. Some Latin American countries, however, recognized and congratulated Maduro as the election winner, including Bolivia, Cuba, Honduras, and Nicaragua.[1][3]

He asserted that the United States and the international community were monitoring the situation "very closely" and that they would "respond accordingly".[31]

Argentina

Harsh criticism came from President Javier Milei of Argentina, telling Maduro to "get out" and calling him a "dictator", adding that "Venezuelans chose to put an end to [Maduro’s] communist dictatorship. The [exit poll] data shows a crushing opposition victory and the world is waiting for the defeat of years of socialism, misery, decadence and death to be recognised."[3][41] Maduro responded by calling Milei a "sociopath".[1][3][41]

On 2 August, Foreign Minister Diana Mondino recognized González as president-elect,[42][43] but the Foreign Ministry later said that the official pronunciation of Argentina will "come soon", and that no position has yet been taken.[44]

Ecuador

President Daniel Noboa of Ecuador warned that "throughout the region, politicians are trying to "cling to power" and trying to take peace away from our citizens. That is what we face, that is the danger of dictatorship, and today we are witnessing how one more of them tries to take hope away from millions of Venezuelans."[3]

The Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry indicated, through its X (Twitter) account, that it rejects the "lack of transparency in the Venezuelan elections", adding that: "the absence of guarantees in the process... delegitimizes and vitiates the results of the elections", also calling on the International Community to monitor and verify the transfer of the elections. President Daniel Noboa reposted the message on his account, adding that: "there are politicians who try to cling to power, that is the danger of the dictatorship" and requested that the Foreign Ministry take steps to convene the Permanent Council of the OAS and address the situation in Venezuela.[54]

On 2 August, Ecuador recognized González as the president-elect.[53]

El Salvador

President Nayib Bukele called the official electoral result released by the National Electoral Council of Venezuela a fraud and said, "What we saw yesterday in Venezuela has no other name than fraud. An 'election' where the official result has no relation to reality. Something obvious to anyone."[55]

Guatemala

President Bernardo Arévalo questioned the results of Maduro's proclaimed victory, publicly stating that "Venezuela deserves transparent, accurate results that adhere to the will of its people."[56]

Guyana

Guyana called for a "transparent verification process" of the election in Venezuela.[57]

In Mexico, the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs released a statement calling for a transparent review including the electoral agency's minutes and full reports.[58] In contrast, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that he would wait until the vote count is complete and that "if the electoral authority confirms this trend, we will recognize the government elected by the people of Venezuela".[3]

Peruvian Foreign Minister Javier González Olaechea indicated through his X (Twitter) account that he "condemns the irregularities with the intention of defrauding the Venezuelan government" and that "Peru will not accept the violation of the popular will of the Venezuelan people." Gonzáles called his ambassador for consultation on responding to the results.[65]

On 30 July, Peru was the first country to recognize González as Venezuela's president-elect.[66]

Uruguay

President Luis Lacalle Pou spoke out against the results of the Venezuelan general elections. He made a public statement on his X (Twitter) account expressing, "Not like that! It was an open secret. They were going to 'win' regardless of the real results. The process up to the day of the election and the counting of votes was clearly flawed. You cannot recognize a victory if you do not trust the way and the mechanisms used to achieve it".[67]

On 2 August, Uruguay recognized González as the president-elect with the foreign minister stating that "based on overwhelming evidence, it is clear to Uruguay that Edmundo González Urrutia won the majority of votes".[68]

International organizations

ALBA–TCP

ALBA–TCP congratulated Maduro, calling it a "demonstration of the strength of the Venezuelan participatory and active democracy, whose people, besieged by imperialist powers, have expressed their will in a civic and deeply patriotic manner in a historic election for the peace and stability of the region and the entire world."[69]

Group of Seven

Group of Seven called for the publication of "detailed election results in full transparency" and asked "to immediately share all information with the opposition and independent observers".[70]

European Union

The high representative of the EU Union for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, asked for "the detailed counting of votes and access to the voting records" in Venezuela, asserting that "The will must be respected."[71] He said the EU would not recognize the election until those conditions are met.[72]

It was reported that Hungary vetoed an unified statement,[73] a spokesman of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs later denied such veto.[74]

Organization of American States

The day after the election, nine Latin American countries (Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay) published a joint communication via the Foreign Ministry of Argentina.[75][76] Together, these countries requested that the Organization of American States (OAS) organize an emergency meeting, with the joint communication expressing "profound concern" over the proclaimed election results and demanding "a comprehensive review of the results in the presence of independent electoral observers in order to guarantee respect for the will of the Venezuelan people who took part in the election peacefully and in large numbers."[19][75][76][77]

A resolution that demanded the publication of the voting protocols failed by only reaching 17 votes of the 18 needed. Argentina, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and the US voted in favour; Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Grenada, Honduras, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Saint Lucia abstained and Dominica, Mexico, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela were absent.[78]
