Venezuela's Epic Movement Toward Democracy

Description

For 25 years, Venezuela has endured a dictatorship with devastating consequences. On July 28, in the country's most unfair and least transparent election, María Corina Machado led a democratic movement that defeated Nicolás Maduro at the polls. Refusing to concede, the regime responded with brutal repression, illegally detaining over 2,000 Venezuelans—including women and children—and killing at least 30 people. Despite this cruelty, the democratic movement persists, forging a global coalition to unite efforts toward a democratic transition.
