Venezuela’s opposition leader to file report to global bodies for alleged threats and disruption of democratic process

The Venezuelan opposition figure, María Corina Machado, is expected to file reports next week with international organizations including the European Union, United Nations, Organization of American States, and the United States.

These reports pertain to alleged threats and aggression she faces. This is claimed to demonstrate attempts to undermine the peaceful democratic process.

Antonio Ledezma, the former mayor of Caracas and coordinator of Machado’s International Political Council, mentioned these plans during a campaign event in Miami-Dade’s Doral city, which hosts many Venezuelan immigrants.

Machado, disqualified from public office roles along with other opposition primary candidates, urges perseverance in combating this perceived dictatorship.

Accusations are expected against not only the president, Nicolás Maduro but also Diosdado Cabello, considered the chavismo’s number two.

In Ledezma’s view, they appear to be trying to disrupt the peaceful resolution of the crisis through 21st-century socialist plans.

The opposition, in exile, perceives the Maduro government as obstructing the opposition primaries, a stepping stone toward democratic presidential elections in 2024.

This perception is based on public statements by figures such as the National Guard commander, Elio Estrada, and Trujillo state governor, Gerardo Márquez.
