It is no longer debatable; Maduro and his regime are undemocratic, corrupt, totalitarian, and have created a state of repression with mechanisms of political violence disguised as narco violence or criminal organizations.

 

  • There is evidence of crimes against humanity (already certified and generated by the UN) and complicity with criminal organizations and drug trafficking cartels.

  • What more needs to happen in Venezuela for all the presidents of America, all political, labor movements, all human rights institutions to act against the violence and illegitimacy of Maduro's regime that perpetuates and wants to continue perpetuating a corrupt and inhumane system of government?

 

  • The international noose tightens around Maduro's regime, while the international community urges the celebration of free and transparent elections in Venezuela.

 

  • What role does the international community play in restoring democracy in Venezuela? What measures must be taken to ensure the integrity of the electoral process and prevent regime manipulation?

Uncertain future and renewed hope:

María Corina Machado projects a horizon of hope amidst the darkness enveloping Venezuela. Her determination and courage are a symbol of resistance for millions of Venezuelans longing for change.

What is Machado's plan to face the challenges ahead? What strategies are being deployed on the international political stage to support the cause of democracy in Venezuela?

Reflections:

Venezuela's fate hangs by a thread, between the oppression of totalitarianism and the hope of a free and democratic future. María Corina Machado emerges as a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness, defying Maduro's regime and reclaiming the rights of the Venezuelan people. Her struggle transcends Venezuela's borders and resonates in the hearts of all those who defend freedom and justice worldwide.

It is time for the world to act and unite in solidarity with the Venezuelan people, to end the reign of totalitarianism and pave the way for a future of freedom and democracy.In summary, the disqualification of María Corina Machado represents another blow to Venezuelan democracy and demands an immediate and unified response from the international community to halt the advance of totalitarianism in the region.
