Venezuelan Opposition Leader Calls for More Western Action Against Maduro
VENEZUELA, JUN 18 – Maria Corina Machado urges the U.S. to cut off financing and expose criminal networks linked to Maduro to increase pressure for political change, citing recent sanctions including Chevron license revocation.
- Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has been prohibited from participating in the 2024 presidential race and continues to advocate for increased international pressure on President Nicolás Maduro.
- This political exclusion and Maduro's government's control over the judiciary motivated Machado and allies to urge stronger sanctions and enforcement from the U.S. and Europe.
- The U.S. and partners have imposed sanctions on top officials, revoked Chevron's license to operate in Venezuela, and Maduro's government has raised private sector taxes to offset lost oil revenue.
- Machado emphasized the necessity for international legal authorities to take action, highlighting the absence of a working judicial system in Venezuela, and referred to Maduro as leading a "criminal enterprise."
- The opposition believes only external pressure can change Venezuela's political situation and that the outcome could affect democratic trends and security across Latin America.
