- 💡 María Corina Machado is actively engaging the international community to highlight Venezuela's ongoing political crisis.
- 🎯 Her team, including Pedro Urruchurtu, is making serious denunciations of systematic human rights violations at international forums.
Lack of Guarantees and Ongoing Repression
- ⚠️ There are no guarantees for María Corina Machado's safe return to Venezuela, nor for any other exiled Venezuelan, due to persistent repression.
- 📌 The arrest and subsequent release of Evan Romero, a US-Venezuelan citizen, demonstrates the continued lack of security and legal guarantees in the country.
- ⛓️ Repression persists, affecting not only those imprisoned but also individuals under restrictive measures or house arrest, as exemplified by Juan Pablo Guanipa's case.
The Flawed Amnesty Law
- ⚖️ The proposed amnesty law is described as a "legal grossness" and a "parliamentary grossness," not intended for national reconciliation.
- 🎯 The law appears designed to benefit the regime, with reports indicating that Nicolás Maduro (imprisoned in the US) seeks inclusion.
- ✊ Family members of political prisoners are on hunger strike in Zone 7, protesting unfulfilled promises of release and the invalidity of the amnesty law.
Call for Genuine Democratic Change
- 🏛️ The current Venezuelan National Assembly is not internationally recognized, and its "pseudo-opposition" members are seen as functional to the dictatorship.
- 🗳️ There is an urgent need for general elections and the establishment of new, impartial institutions, including the CNE, Public Ministry, and Supreme Court.
- 🗣️ The speaker, Luis Gonzalo Pérez, highlights his own situation as a persecuted journalist in exile, emphasizing the lack of freedom of expression and the need for a real amnesty law.
