Protests erupted on Monday in Venezuela after sitting President Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner of Sunday's presidential election despite the opposition's accusations of election fraud. Maduro has countered by accusing the opposition of attempting to stage a fascist coup. We go to Caracas for an update from Venezuelanalysis reporter Andreína Chávez, who says the opposition’s claims are still unsubstantiated. We also hear from Venezuelan historian Alejandro Velasco, who lays out how Venezuela's economic crisis, fueled in part by U.S. sanctions, has generated rising social upheaval.
