Since Venezuela’s July 28, 2024, presidential election, which opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia won decisively, Nicolás Maduro’s regime has defied the will of the people and intensified its campaign of repression and terror. Over 1,600 political prisoners remain behind bars, while opposition leaders have been forced into hiding or exile. Despite international condemnation, Maduro had himself inaugurated for a third term in January.

Under Maduro, Venezuela has transformed into a criminal hub, facilitating illicit activities that threaten regional stability. Although the regime released six American citizens in February, Maduro’s Venezuela continues to deepen its strategic alliances with rogue states like Iran, posing a growing threat to the security of the United States.

Join Adjunct Fellow Daniel Batlle and the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, María Corina Machado, for a discussion on the implications of Maduro’s dictatorship for Venezuela and the United States.
