I checked for videos of protests early this morning local time (my time is 12 hours ahead of Caracas because I’m on the other side of the world). When I checked for Russian results, I found some videos that are absent from Venezuelan sources. Likely outdated ones, so I don’t prefer non-Venezuelan sources (just a personal insight on media appearing).
Three remarkable videos I viewed in the Voluntad Popular FB page, all showing removal of any propaganda content like billboards and statues.

With this amount of delay it might theoretically be possible to forge numbers for the unobserved sites (I recall hearing the opposition managed to get observers to around 40%?)

Indeed, that is what am I fearing, and that some of those who are asking for results will feel satisfied with that. But well, that's speculation for now

The reaction from the international community will be pivotal in the coming days, as calls for a transparent and credible electoral process continue to grow. The legitimacy of Maduro’s government hinges not only on domestic acceptance but also on international recognition, which remains in question following these contentious election results. https://en.mercopress.com/2024/07/29/boric-says-maduro-s-victory-in-venezuela-s-presidential-election-is-hard-to-believe#google_vignette

Yeah IMO that's a very, very thinly veiled threat against opposition protesters
You have to remember that according to the gov't there's no such thing as legitimate political dissent via protest. Any anti-gov't protest is a fascist attack against the revolution
And so almost by definition, any anti-gov't protester is part of this grand fascist coup, and that's where the language of "bandas"
