Protests erupted across Latin America against the controversial inauguration of President Nicolas Maduro for a third term.

Despite complaints of electoral irregularities, Venezuela's National Electoral Council declared Maduro the winner.

The United States and other governments have recognised Edmundo González Urrutia as Venezuela's president-elect instead.

Even many of Maduro's former leftist allies in Latin America have skipped Friday's inauguration.
