Here is a link to the UN press release already linked in the comment so there was no need to search.

Here is the interview of the UN rapporteur, this is not 'some single person'. This is the official UN rapporteur for Venezuela who is on the ground and provides a lot of facts and details in the interview.

No one can take the position that they trust a Wikipedia page over the official UN representative in the region so it seems like you are not interested in the truth.

That link does not "comprehensively debunk" anything shadowprofile76 was saying. It doesn't address the validity of the elections (or the legal ramifications for maduro's later actions). Where is that link?

Also, what can this accomplish once I click the link and find out it's irrelevant to the immediate discussion? It's very likely that you and I are the only ones reading this, so who is going to be fooled?

> Here is the interview

That vlog was already linked. Do you have some response to what I said about it?

> No one can take the position that they trust a Wikipedia page

I never suggested I trust a wikipedia page. As per usual, I scroll to the bottom and start clicking on the references.

> the official UN representative in the region

He's not an official UN representative. He is independent of the UN.

> it seems like you are not interested in the truth

What exactly is the point of making this statement? Do you think I'll suddenly "see the light"? Do you think you'll demoralize me so I'll shut up? What do you hope to accomplish?
