Analysis: In Venezuela, voters caught in Maduro’s dangerous dance are seeking answers

Two people have been confirmed dead, with several other reports of deaths pending verification, as police and pro-government paramilitary colectivos clashed with demonstrators in protests over alleged electoral fraud that rocked Venezuela on Monday.

This comes as hundreds took part in an anti-government march from the poor neighborhood of Petare to downtown Caracas, and hundreds of others reached the city's international airport.

Demonstrators chanted "Freedom!" and ripped Pres. Nicolás Maduro campaign posters from street posts in Caracas. Meanwhile, at least two statues of late socialist leader Hugo Chávez, who handpicked Maduro as his successor, were toppled around the country.

Protests erupted as the National Election Council (CNE) on Monday formally declared Maduro as president-elect with 51% of the vote despite exit polls pointing to a decisive win for opposition candidate Edmundo González.
