Venezuela's Supreme Court has declared opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez in contempt of court for refusing to attend a summons related to the certification of the July 28 election results. Gonzalez claims he won the election against President Nicolas Maduro, who was declared the winner. The move comes amid escalating tensions and anti-government protests, with some countries expressing doubt over Maduro's victory. Venezuela's top prosecutor, Tarek Saab, has launched a criminal investigation into a website run by opposition forces that supports Gonzalez's claim of being the election's true winner.
