EU Joins Refusals to Recognize Maduro as Venezuela Vote Winner
EU sides with Venezuelan opposition challenging presidential election result.
The European Union heaped further international pressure Sunday (4 August) on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, joining Washington and Latin American nations in refusing to recognize the win he has claimed in the recent election marked by fraud allegations.
The latest rejection comes as Venezuela’s opposition backed outside calls for the results of last week’s disputed presidential vote to be published, as the Pope said Venezuelans must “seek the truth” and warned against further violence.
Western powers are willing to recognise Putin as the ruler of the Russian Federation, and the dictator of Saudi Arabia, but not Maduro. The reasons why are obvious, but it doesn’t really help their credibility.

"A European Union spokesman said the elections were not properly monitored, nor conducted in a free and fair way. The governments of the UK, Germany and the US echoed this." -BBC on the Russian 2021 elections
This has always happened in the past Russian elections. The EU doesn't push harder on this topic because they know these efforts won't influence Russia
On Venezuela however, there's a lot more chance that international pressure will cause changes. Maduro GTFO!
Sure, they’ll complain about it (and I notice you just skipped the mention of Saudi Arabia), but they will continue happily pretending like the leader of those countries aren’t dictators as long as they’re willing to play along with their desires and ideology.
The US and EU only care that Venezuela is led by a dictator because that dictator is opposed to their interests. If he was a pro-US, pro-EU, pro-NATO dictator, they wouldn’t give a fuck. Just a double standard.
Even a ghoul like putin had the "forethought" to fudge his election numbers so people can doubt, but not prove 100% that he cheated, so it is what it is.
Meanwhile, Maduro "won" and still has not released the results, lol, his supporters look like fools. If you refuse to lose, at least just admit you're a dictator.
