María Corina y Edmundo han hecho lo que tenían que hacer: organizarse, ganar una elección y demostrar que la ganaron. El país lo sabe, el mundo lo sabe. No son magos. Que Maduro siga en el poder no es culpa de ellos

a TRULY OUTSTANDING series of posts: a great history lesson explaining where Venezuela is today, and why. Have read it twice, and will read it again. Brava!

The official Instagram account of the Public Ministry of Venezuela has in its profile pic the Prosecutor General, Tarek William Saab, superimposed under the Venezuelan flag.

Venezuelans voted for change. Maduro’s post-election repression has killed or jailed thousands, and winning candidate Edmundo González remains the best hope for democracy. We must not let Maduro and his representatives cling to power by force. The will of the people must be respected.

My expanded take on Edmundo fleeing Venezuela. The final move in Venezuela's latest push for democracy is yet to be seen. And it's up to MCM. what will she do? call people to the streets? prison or exile? would love to hear your thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/germania/p…

Edmundo's agreement with Spain bans him from speaking out about Venezuelan politics. His role has always been as the intuitional face of the electoral card. The communication role is up to MCM, the opposition leader elected in primaries.

Lo que sí les puedo decir es, que la líder y estratega siempre fue MCM. EGU fue el candidato tapa que le tocó y asumió un rol como candidato. No sabemos cómo actuará la líder con esto, por eso nos toca observar para sacar conclusiones. Lo único que se puede concluir es que fue

María Corina Machado says she has, as of now, decided to remain in Venezuela. Adds that Edmundo’s exile does not change absolutely anything. She’s the last piece in the game.

I've introduced a bill to terminate all U.S. petroleum cooperation and related oil-trade with Venezuela until the legitimate results of their recent election is respected. We must put an end to Maduro's theft of the Venezuelan voters' choice.

Why it’s so hard to overthrow modern dictatorships. Iranians, Syrians, Nicaraguans, Cubans, Belarusians get it. No, the CIA isn’t staging coups. But the axis of evil is working against us. And unlike the dictators’ oppositions, they have guns.

increasingly a world without the US

Looks as if the “Harris Honeymoon” has ended —even in NPR/Marist poll, which shows Harris a marginal point up over Trump in September but she’s a point below where Biden was in early July NPR writeup of today’s poll here 👇 npr.org/2024/09/10/nx-…

Maduro ran as the candidate that could assure stability, leading some people with business interests to back him. Senator Dick Durbin’s bill will be particularly impactful on them, helping to weaken the clique that tries to live off the oppression of a whole country. Thank you,

I echo Venezuelan opposition leader, María Corina Machado, in calling for a global movement to rescue Venezuela from Maduro’s corrupt regime. This should be a world cause that we all stand for: theguardian.com/world/article/…

FS statement is clear. Publicly available records show Edmundo Gonzalez secured the most votes by a significant margin. Dialogue remains the only solution to ensure that the will of all Venezuelans is respected. gov.uk/government/new…

I can’t explain it but I can sense when someone else is Venezuelan when I see them anywhere in the world without even hearing them speak Spanish lol

An Ohio boy's death in a crash sparked the community's turn against Haitians and rumors they were eating pets. Yesterday the boy's parents said they wished the driver had been a white man so his son's death wouldn't be used to score political points. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

I asked Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump's top advisors, what is the evidence for saying that Caracas and Venezuela are safer than the United States. He began by answering that it is the government's numbers. I asked him if he trusted Maduro's numbers. And this was his

Just a year ago, the EU promoted the successful inauguration of anti-establishment president Bernardo Arévalo in Guatemala. Now, the 27 must replicate those pro-democracy pressures in Venezuela. This the second installment of #OptionsOnTheTable: caracaschronicles.com/2024/09/11/the…
