Linking the Carter Center as evidence that this is "consensus across the political spectrun" means you're limiting said spectrum to the pro-imperialist western countries. Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, all recognize Maduro. Edmundo Gonzalez is a far-right comprador that wishes to privatize Venezuela's oil, and was backed by the US Empire, which the US tried to manipulate the election via sanctions (and the EU participated as well). Gonzalez is more popular among Venezuelans in Miami than in Venezuela itself.
Let's stick with the facts: The US kidnapped a democratically elected president to colonize Venezuela and strip it for oil, and people who legitimize it by equating Maduro and Trump have blood on their hands.
