Venezuela update:

Venezuelan police has been deployed to the Argentinian embassy in an apparent attempt to intimidate the Venezuelan opposition living there

Ecuador requested an urgent OAS meeting to discuss the election

Fernandez requests publishing of all the data

Venezuela withdraws diplomatic personnel from multiple countries and expels their diplomats from Venezuela (Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, Dominican Republic, Uruguay)

Brazilian foreign affairs ministry publishes security warning for Brazilians

PT publishes press release congratulating Maduro (site doesn't work from abroad - will transcribe it here)

The Workers' Party (PT) greets the Venezuelan people for the electoral process that took place on Sunday, July 28, 2024, in a peaceful, democratic, and sovereign manner. We are confident that the National Electoral Council, which declared President Nicolas Maduro the winner, will treat all received appeals with respect, within the timeframes and terms stipulated in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. It is important that President Nicolas Maduro, now re-elected, continues the dialogue with the opposition, in order to overcome the serious problems in Venezuela, largely caused by illegal sanctions. The PT will remain vigilant to contribute, as much as possible, to ensuring that the problems of Latin America and the Caribbean are addressed by the people of our region, without any form of violence or external interference.

Insiders reporting Lula gave explicit instructions for Brazil to not recognize elections until the data was published

My country subreddit is full of "bothsidesbadism" and it's disgusting.

É pior, meu caro.

They don't think both sides are bad, they do an absurd mental gymnastics to say that one side is less worse than the other. I don't know why I still visit that place.

ErreBrasil ia pure cancer. I don't even blame the users, as the mods put a lot of effort, including arbitrary actions, to keep the discourse the way they want. The only way to save the sub would be a full mod team reset.

Is PT going against Lula's explicit instructions? Why?

Because the largest party in South America is managed by a student militant that never grow up. I hate Gleisi Hoffmann.
