Context
It should be remembered that the Nicolás Maduro regime remains illegitimately since 2017, when from the interior of the government, presidential elections were organized in which only candidates participated with any possibility of triumph, so the unique candidate was Nicolás Maduro. All opposition candidates with true political force were disabled, persecuted and, in the worst case, exiled or imprisoned.
Then, in July 2024, new presidential elections were held, in which the opposition shielded with a proposal materialized by the Vente Venezuela party, led by María Corina Machado. In this process, the opponent Edmundo González was a winner, as demonstrated by the electoral records published via the Internet by the Venezuelan opposition; But the regime did not accept defeat and invented results of which he never delivered evidence.
The president -elect Edmundo González was forced to leave the country. María Corina Machado remains in an unknown whereabouts, and the regime remains firm in her decision to preserve the control of the Caribbean nation, rich in gold, coltan and oil, among other minerals. While opposition leaders, direct collaborators of Machado, have been imprisoned or missing. As is the case of Rafael Túbares, son -in -law of President -elect Edmundo González, who was kidnapped (January 2025) for forces of the Bolivarian Intelligence Service, and was then accused of a series of charges without evidence.
Meanwhile, millions of Venezuelans have left the country in the last ten years, this being the largest migration in history in a country that does not live any armed, internal or external conflict.
