00:52Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro criticised President Javier Milei during a press conference in Caracas on Wednesday following the Argentine leader's recent allegations of election fraud in the country.
"Human beings are complex," he said. "Homo sapiens have been on Earth for 300,000 years, researchers say. The scientists, with some recent discoveries, I think in Argentina, right? Studying Milei's brain, they discovered that it did not belong to homo sapiens, which is a strange thing, it belongs to 'homo-fascist', 'homo-nazi'."
At the time of publication, Milei has not responded to Maduro's statement.
These remarks come after Maduro's 2024 presidential rival, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, was reportedly issued an arrest warrant by Venezuelan authorities on Tuesday. He stands accused of 'usurpation' of public duties, falsification of documents and instigation of disobedience and system sabotage as part of a criminal investigation into the July election results.
The US State Department claimed the arrest warrant is an 'arbitrary and politically motivated' action and said it demonstrated the 'extraordinary length' to which Nicolas Maduro would go 'to try and maintain power'.
Maduro earlier claimed that Milei, along with the US government and tech-billionaire Elon Musk, stood behind the failed coup attempt in Venezuela shortly after the July elections.
Venezuela's National Electoral Council reported that Nicolas Maduro had won a historic third term with 51 percent of the vote to his primary challenger's 44 percent in the presidential elections. Russia, China, and others congratulated Maduro after his re-election, while the US said it had 'serious concerns' about the vote.
The opposition claimed it won with more than 70 per cent of the votes cast, although it did not provide any evidence. Gonzalez Urrutia, Maduro's main opponent, claimed he was the legitimate winner.
The United States and several Latin American countries have recognised Gonzalez Urrutia as the presidential election winner and have called on Venezuela's election officials to release their data. In the meantime, Maduro took to the Supreme Court to have his victory confirmed, and the country's election authority said it had handed the election data to the court.
Maduro has been in power since 2013, while his United Socialist Party of Venezuela has governed the country since 2007.
