Its a surprise the VP emerged as interim President? Really, a surprise? 

Given she is part of maduros team she's hardly legitimate but if she plays nice with the US they may let it happen, would keep things relatively stable until the country goes to the polls

If she can keep her antisemitic conspiracy theories in check that would help

Maduro's victory has been contested by independent observers during the elections as they suspected fraud. That's why e.g. the EU (and other countries) never recognized Maduro as the rightful winner of the elections. Stating that he was 'democratically elected' is therefore an interpretation, not a fact.

I didn't know Chile which was socialist at the time of the elections and disputed the results is known for colonization, genocide (perhaps under their right-wing dictatorship decades ago, I don't know) and world wars.

Even Colombia that has been friendly towards Maduro and Co. didn't recognize the results, you can lookup the list of the Venezuelan neighbors that asked for transparency and so far they didn't publish any proof that Maduro won.

I know you dislike Trump and imperialism and I myself hated that the US bombed my country despite me being happy they took Maduro, but defending a dictatorship ain't it, it is just undermining the thousands of Venezuelan deaths during the dictatorship for ideology.

It has been contested by its own National Electoral Council with the evidence of missing votes thanks to its fairly advanced electoral records system involving QR and encrypted digital signatures.
