In a stunning blow to democracy in Venezuela, the opposition coalition has been effectively barred from fielding any candidate against President Maduro in the upcoming July elections. Despite efforts to unite behind a single candidate, the electoral commission, which is controlled by Maduro allies, has thwarted their plans.
The last day for presidential candidates to register has come and gone with no opposition candidate on the ballot, ensuring that Maduro, whose repressive rule has led to an economic crisis and mass emigration, will likely retain power. This move has raised serious concerns about the fairness and transparency of the upcoming election in Venezuela.
Opposition leaders have wasted no time in denouncing this undemocratic maneuver, calling for international support in their fight against Maduro’s regime. It is clear that the people of Venezuela will once again be denied their right to choose their own leader, as Maduro tightens his grip on power through nefarious means.
As the world watches on, it is imperative that the international community stands in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and condemns this brazen attack on democracy. The Liberty Conservative will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates on any developments in this unfolding crisis.
