Le président vénézuélien, Nicolas Maduro
Selon les résultats officiels du CNE, M. Maduro, 61 ans, l’héritier de l’ancien président Hugo Chavez (1999-2013), a été réélu pour un troisième mandat consécutif de six ans avec 5,15 thousands and thousands de voix (51,2 %).
Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, 74 ans, en a recueilli un peu moins de 4,5 thousands and thousands (44,2 %), d’après le CNE.
L’opposition, qui espérait mettre fin à 25 années de pouvoir chaviste, avait aussitôt rejeté ce résultat.
« Nous allons nous battre pour notre liberté », a assuré lundi soir M. Gonzalez Urrutia, rappelant à « toutes les establishments » leur « devoir constitutionnel de respecter la volonté populaire ».
Il a néanmoins estimé que les « manifestations » du jour ne contribuaient pas à « l’objectif ». À ses côtés, Mme Machado a préféré appeler à des « assemblées populaires » mardi à travers le pays.
« Dissiper les doutes »
Si M. Maduro a reçu le soutien de la Russie et de la Chine ainsi que de ses alliés habituels (Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras et Bolivie), il semble être isolé avec l’afflux de réactions négatives ou sceptiques de la communauté internationale.

Le chef de la diplomatie de l’UE, Josep Borrell, et la France ont appelé à la « transparence totale », demandant l’intégralité des procès-verbaux et des résultats.
Caracas a réagi à cette levée de boucliers en retirant son personnel diplomatique de sept pays d’Amérique latine (Argentine, Chili, Costa Rica, Panama, Pérou, République dominicaine et Uruguay), estimant que leur place « porte atteinte à la souveraineté nationale ».
Le Venezuela a aussi annoncé suspendre à partir de mercredi les vols avec le Panama et la République dominicaine, dénonçant des « actions d’ingérence » de ces gouvernements.
« Ce n’est pas le résultat idéal pour Maduro », a estimé Rebecca Hanson, de l’Université de Floride. « En termes d’acquisition d’une certaine légitimité internationale – ce qui était un objectif de M. Maduro –, cette élection a été un désastre ».
Intimidations
La campagne et le scrutin se sont déroulés dans une ambiance tendue, l’opposition dénonçant de nombreuses intimidations et arrestations.
Caracas avait limité la possibilité d’observer le déroulement du scrutin. Le Centre Carter, un des rares observateurs indépendants présents, a appelé le CNE à publier les résultats du scrutin de dimanche dans chaque bureau de vote.
Le Venezuela, longtemps un des plus riches pays d’Amérique latine, est exsangue : effondrement de la manufacturing pétrolière, PIB réduit de 80 % en dix ans, pauvreté, systèmes de santé et éducatif totalement délabrés. Sept thousands and thousands de Vénézuéliens ont fui leur pays.
Le pouvoir accuse le « blocus criminel » d’être à l’origine de tous les maux : les États-Unis avaient durci leurs sanctions pour tenter d’évincer M. Maduro après sa réélection déjà contestée de 2018, un scrutin entaché de fraudes selon l’opposition, qui avait débouché sur des manifestations sévèrement réprimées.
In Crew USA’s first sport of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Jayson Tatum was not within the rotation. The Boston Celtics star performed zero minutes in the USA’ 110-84 win in opposition to Serbia on Sunday.
“I went with the mixtures I felt would make sense,” coach Steve Kerr advised reporters, through the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, “and I talked to him, and he was extremely skilled.”
Kerr known as Tatum “the most effective gamers on this planet.” Tatum made the All-NBA First Crew and led the Celtics to a championship this previous season, and he logged a median of 17.6 minutes within the Crew USA’s 5 exhibition video games main as much as the Olympics. The largest distinction between these video games and the Olympic opener, although, was that Kevin Durant did not play within the friendlies. Durant, who returned from a calf damage in opposition to Serbia, successfully took Tatum’s spot within the rotation.
“It is actually exhausting in a 40-minute sport to play greater than 10 guys,” Kerr stated. “With Kevin coming again, I simply went to the mixtures that I felt made probably the most sense. It appears loopy. I assumed I used to be loopy after I checked out every part and decided these are the lineups I needed to get to.
“[Tatum will] make his mark. Our guys know the important thing to this complete factor is to place all of the NBA stuff within the rearview mirror and simply win six video games. Jayson is the final word professional and champion and he dealt with it properly, and he will be prepared for the following sport.”
Kerr might have tinkered with the rotation as a way to hold Tatum in it, however elected not to take action. The choice to convey Durant off the bench signaled that he needed to maintain the beginning 5 — Stephen Curry, Jrue Vacation, Devin Booker, LeBron James and Joel Embiid — intact. Going smaller may very well be an possibility going ahead, however would not have made a lot sense in opposition to Nikola Jokic’s crew.
It’s a bit bizarre that Tatum wound up not enjoying in any respect, regardless of the context. It’s price noting, although, that Tyrese Haliburton, one other All-NBA participant, has not performed for the reason that first half of the USA’ tune-up sport in opposition to South Sudan final week. For the final two-and-a-half video games, Derrick White has run level with the second unit and Haliburton has sat on the sideline. If Kerr’s teaching workers will not be going to play everyone in each sport, then one or two nice gamers might be neglected.
“[Tatum is] good,” White, his teammate on the Celtics and with Crew USA, stated. “He is in good spirits. He is clearly a hell of a participant and we have numerous nice guys on the crew, so he’ll be all proper.”
Requested if he was sick, as each Embiid and Anthony Davis needed to miss latest practices because of sickness, Tatum stated, “No, I am good,” per the Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn.
Forward of Crew USA’s upcoming video games in opposition to South Sudan (Wednesday, 3 p.m. ET) and Puerto Rico (subsequent Sunday, 11:15 a.m. ET), the broader query concerning the rotation is how inflexible Kerr might be. If Durant is inserted to the beginning lineup, who’s taken out? What ripple results will which have on the bench? Kerr has not completely made hockey-style substitutions this summer season, however he has clearly tried to assemble a constant first unit and a second unit in order that the 2 respective teams might construct chemistry. The best technique to hold some continuity on Sunday was to place Durant in Tatum’s place, however that does not imply the teaching workers would have landed on this explicit rotation in another circumstance.
For the following three days, Kerr can experiment with completely different lineup mixtures in follow. Do not be stunned if the substitution sample seems to be meaningfully completely different in opposition to South Sudan, and do not be stunned if this finally ends up being Tatum’s solely DNP-CD.

Luis Gilberto Murillo, le ministre des Affaires étrangères de la Colombie, dirigée par le président de gauche Gustavo Petro, a demandé un décompte complete des voix, sa vérification et un audit indépendant, automobile il est vital de dissiper les doutes sur les résultats.

Il y aura la paix, la stabilité et la justice. La paix et le respect de la loi. Je suis un homme de paix et de dialogue, a-t-il dit, alors que la campagne et le scrutin se sont déroulés dans une ambiance tendue, l’opposition dénonçant de nombreuses intimidations et arrestations.

Nearly all the pieces went proper for the U.S. males’s basketball crew in its opening sport of the Paris Olympics, a 110-84 romp over Serbia. Kevin Durant dropped 23 factors on simply 9 photographs in his return from a calf damage, LeBron James delivered a classic efficiency and 5 totally different gamers scored in double figures.
One of many gamers who did not, nonetheless, was Jayson Tatum. Actually, Tatum did not play in any respect on Sunday — one in all simply two gamers head coach Steve Kerr opted to go away on the bench, together with level guard Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton’s absence is not too large of a shock; he is been the eleventh or twelfth man all summer season. Tatum, nonetheless, registers as an enormous shock, because the MVP candidate and 2023-24 NBA champion had been a key a part of Kerr’s rotation throughout Group USA’s tune-up video games over the previous few weeks.
So, what offers? Even given the embarrassment of riches at Kerr’s disposal, why would a participant of Tatum’s caliber not play in any respect? Let’s dig in to what is likely to be occurring.
Why did not Jayson Tatum play in U.S. sport vs. Serbia?
If you wish to take Kerr at his phrase, this was merely a basketball choice, one spurred on by the return of Durant.
Steve Kerr says Jayson Tatum sat largely due to getting KD into the combination. However stated there will likely be alternatives.
Does that cross the odor take a look at? It makes some sense. First, Durant’s return made the U.S. even deeper on the wing. Second, Kerr has tinkered with lineups all summer season, and has advised the media a number of occasions that he wasn’t afraid to combine and match based mostly on opponent and circumstance. In a sport through which the U.S. wished to push the tempo, each to press its athleticism benefit over Serbia and to attempt to put on out star large man Nikola Jokic, the choice to take a seat Tatum would try.
Tatum is a methodical participant; he prefers a half-court sport, and he prefers to carry the ball and survey his choices.
