Enough of Maduro’s Authoritarian Playbook in Venezuela
On July 28, Venezuela's unified opposition achieved a significant victory despite considerable challenges: Edmundo Gonzalez won the election with 67% of the vote. However, authoritarian ruler Nicolás Maduro refused to recognize his defeat and exacerbated repression. In the face of mounting death tolls and mass arrests, the international community is once again called upon to heed the demands for an end to the dictatorship. The Venezuelan people are crying out for freedom.
