In addition, he accused Blinken of being “a confessed enemy of Venezuela.” He assured that this is “just another Secretary of State, who went down, along with his puppets, trying to reverse democracy” in the country.

Joe Biden’s administration recognized Edmundo González as the winner of the elections in August, but had until now avoided declaring him “president-elect” of Venezuela. Secretary Blinken said that this change was a measure of recognition “of the will of the voters” of the presidential elections on July 28.
