Nicolás Maduro is set to begin his third term as Venezuela's president on January 10, despite widespread doubts about the legitimacy of the July 28 election, which many believe was won by opposition candidate Edmundo González.

The situation is complicated by the regime's detention of foreigners, which may be used as leverage in negotiations.
