What is happening in #Venezuela2025?
Venezuela has been under the Chavista project for 26 years, first with Hugo Chávez and now with Nicolás Maduro. During this time, the regime has progressively dismantled all democratic guarantees:
• Disqualifies opposition leaders to prevent free elections
• Outlaws political parties and blocks candidates
• Persecutes and jails dissidents — political, student, union, and social leaders
• Shuts down independent media and censors digital platforms
• Prevents over 5 million Venezuelans from voting, both inside and outside the country
• Uses violence to suppress protests
• Has created the worst humanitarian crisis in our nation’s history
In 2024, despite all these barriers, Venezuelans voted overwhelmingly for Edmundo González Urrutia as President.
He won by more than double the votes. There is documented evidence of that victory.
But Maduro chose to steal the election and destroy the democratic process.
