The President also urged the National Assembly to enact laws imposing severe penalties on those responsible for inciting violence.
He criticized opposition leaders Edmundo Gonzalez and Maria Corina Machado, demanding accountability for those who incite and finance violence.
Venezuela's presidential election was held on July 28, with Maduro securing a third term with 51.20% of the vote, according to the Venezuelan Electoral Council.
However, the opposition, which claimed that the results were manipulated, voiced strong objections immediately after the election was concluded.
