Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro, amidst allegations of fraud and opposition claims of victory, has decreed that Christmas will be celebrated on October 1st as a distraction from the country's challenges. The US and the EU doubt Maduro's election victory, and an arrest warrant has been issued against opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia.
Maduro's decision is not unprecedented, as Christmas was celebrated in October in 2020 and 2021 as well. The socialist government traditionally provides food aid to the underprivileged during the Christmas period.
The election controversy has led to protests both domestically and internationally, with a stalemate between Maduro and the opposition declaring their victories. The arrest warrant against González has triggered international condemnation, with leaders from Brazil, the US, Canada, Argentina, and other countries denouncing the move and expressing solidarity with González.
