María Corina Machado Demands Dismantling of Repression and Release of Political Prisoners

In a powerful call for democratic reform, opposition leader María Corina Machado has reiterated her demand for the complete dismantling of the state's repressive apparatus and the immediate release of all political prisoners in Venezuela. Speaking via her X account, Machado stressed that true democratic transition remains an elusive goal as long as individuals are detained for their political beliefs. Her statement comes as a direct response to recent remarks by OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro, who has also urged for the liberation of those unjustly held. Machado highlighted the plight of over 500 political prisoners, encompassing both civilians and military personnel, who she stated have been subjected to politically motivated detentions and kidnappings. She insisted that these individuals must be guaranteed a return to their lives without any legal restrictions.

El desmantelamiento de la represión es indispensable para alcanzar una genuina transición a la democracia y a la libertad en Venezuela. Los más de 500 presos políticos, civiles y militares que mantiene tras las rejas el régimen, deben ser liberados, y debe garantizarse la…

Machado expressed her gratitude for the technical report recently presented by the OAS, viewing Almagro's call for the release of political prisoners as a positive step. The opposition leader underscored the strategic importance of a stable and democratic Venezuela, not only for its own citizens but for the entire hemisphere. Her message resonates deeply within Venezuela, where the ongoing political crisis and human rights concerns are a daily reality for many. While international observers often focus on the broader political landscape, Machado consistently brings attention to the human cost of the regime's actions, emphasizing the need for justice and freedom for those who have been silenced. This focus on individual liberty and the rule of law is central to her platform and distinguishes her movement's vision for Venezuela's future. The international community's attention, as reflected in the OAS report, is seen as crucial, but Machado's primary message is one of urgent domestic action required for genuine change.
