Caracas: The protests that took place in Venezuela after the presidential elections have been completely suppressed, more than 80 servicemen and police officers were injured, the country’s Prosecutor General Tarek William Saab said.

Presidential elections in Venezuela were held on July 28. The next day the National Electoral Council declared Nicolas Maduro president-elect for 2025-2031. Maduro received, according to the Electoral Council, 51% of the vote. On July 29, protests started in Venezuela with clashes between the police and protesters. Protesters threw stones and Molotov cocktails at law enforcement officers. Maduro said Wednesday 1,200 people had been detained. They are accused of destruction of state infrastructure, incitement of hatred and terrorism.

“The isolated outbreaks that we could see between midday and evening on Monday and a few hours on Tuesday have been completely suppressed. This deserves recognition and applause, because the state security forces, courts and the prosecutor’s office acted immediately,” Saab, whose speech was shown on the VTV channel, said.

He said that if it is proven that those detained had not been involved in violence during the protests, they will be released, but those who definitely committed crimes will be held accountable.

Moscow said the Venezuelan opposition must admit defeat in the elections. In addition, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned third countries against supporting attempts to destabilize the situation inside Venezuela.
