Venezuela's Supreme Justice Tribunal said on Monday it has suspended the results of an opposition presidential primary that took place this month, despite an electoral deal between the government and the opposition that allows each side to choose its candidate.
The ruling could risk the wrath of the United States, which this month rolled back some oil and gas industry and bond trading sanctions in exchange for the electoral deal.
The government has decried alleged fraud since the day of the vote, which was organized without state help and which attracted more than 2.3 million voters."We urge Nicolas Maduro and his representatives to uphold the commitments they made at the signing of the political roadmap agreement," a State Department spokesperson said. "The U.S. government will take action if Maduro and his representatives do not meet their commitments.
The commission must also account for the participation of candidates like Machado, who is barred from holding public office in a decision the opposition says is illegal.
