denounce

/diˈnaʊns/verb

To declare or announce something openly and formally.

Example sentences

“The party publicly denounced its former leader as a fraud.”
“Officials denounced the treaty before the full assembly.”

Now almost always implies public condemnation, calling someone or something out as wrong. Stronger and more formal than 'criticize'.
