Here’s what we know about the power struggle and what it means for the country and region. Maduro and González both claimed victory in the presidential election on July 28. Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, a body stacked with Maduro allies, formally declared Maduro the winner without providing voting tallies. González has long vowed to return to Venezuela to form a new government and prevent a new Maduro term. International impactIf Maduro takes office again, it could further deteriorate diplomatic relations with many of Venezuela’s neighbors.

Reuters —Mexico’s largest airline has offered to fly Olympic divers Alejandra Orozco and Gabriela Agúndez to this year’s world championships for free after government funding cuts forced them to try to find ways to pay their own passage. Elite Mexican aquatic athletes have been driven to selling towels and bathing suits among other fundraising initiatives since government funding was cut in a row over the governance of the Mexican Swimming Federation (FMN). Moments later, however, they received an on-air call from an Aeromexico executive, who said the airline would ferry the entire diving team to the Aquatics World Championships in Japan in July. The Aeromexico offer is not the first case of private initiative coming to the aid of Mexico’s aquatic athletes. Billionaire businessman Carlos Slim, through his philanthropic foundation, funded the Artistic Swimming team’s trip to the World Championships in Egypt, where they won three golds and a bronze earlier this week.
