Nicolás Maduro’s corrupt and inept reign has caused endless suffering for the Venezuelan people and brought this beautiful country to the verge of economic and social collapse. He will not be missed. But a just and fair transition means handing power to Venezuelans, and especially to those with a clear mandate to lead. By many accounts, Edmundo González won the 2024 Presidential election by a wide margin. He and the Plataforma Unitaria Democrática under Maria Corina Machado have the support and the respect of most Venezuelans. They must be given the opportunity to lead their nation into a better future. https://t.co/I5T5O4xNyA
Muchas gracias, Presidente Macron.
La libertad de TODOS los presos políticos es nuestra inmediata prioridad.
Le pido a los jefes de Estado y de Gobierno y a todos los demócratas del mundo que nos apoyen en esta hora decisiva.
Venezuela será libre.
Venezuela has a leader and her name is @MariaCorinaYa. She has earned the respect, love and following of millions of Venezuelans through decades of hard work and great sacrifice. Venezuela voted for her in 2024. Remember that fact and share, share, share.
El pueblo venezolano está hoy liberado de la dictadura de Nicolás Maduro y no puede sino celebrarlo.
Al confiscar el poder y pisotear las libertades fundamentales, Nicolás Maduro ha cometido una grave afrenta contra la dignidad de su propio pueblo.
La transición que se abre debe ser pacífica, democrática y respetuosa de la voluntad del pueblo venezolano. Deseamos que el presidente Edmundo González Urrutia, elegido en 2024, pueda asegurar esta transición lo antes posible.
En estos momentos, mantengo conversaciones con nuestros socios de la región.
Francia está plenamente movilizada y vigilante, en particular para garantizar la seguridad de sus ciudadanos en estas horas de incertidumbre.
En #Venezuela no hay vacío de poder.
El presidente y la vicepresidente constitucionales de Venezuela, elegidos por las tres cuartas partes del bravo pueblo en la elección usurpada por el narcotráfico, son @EdmundoGU y @MariaCorinaYA
Le peuple vénézuélien est aujourd’hui débarrassé de la dictature de Nicolás Maduro et ne peut que s’en réjouir.
En confisquant le pouvoir et en piétinant les libertés fondamentales, Nicolás Maduro a porté une atteinte grave à la dignité de son propre peuple.
La transition à venir doit être pacifique, démocratique et respectueuse de la volonté du peuple vénézuélien. Nous souhaitons que le Président Edmundo González Urrutia, élu en 2024, puisse assurer au plus vite cette transition.
Je m’entretiens en ce moment avec nos partenaires de la région.
La France est pleinement mobilisée et vigilante, notamment pour assurer la sécurité de ses ressortissants en ces heures d’incertitude.
"Freedom is not something we wait for, but something we become. It is a deliberate, personal choice, and the sum of those choices forms the civic ethos that must be renewed every day."
The photo depicts 2025 peace prize laureate Maria Corina Machado signing the guest book at the Norwegian Nobel Institute, joining the ranks of other peace prize laureates who have left their mark.
Machado missed the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony by a few hours, as her travel to Norway required a secret departure from Venezuela. After a difficult journey, she was able to arrive in Oslo, appear on the balcony of the Grand Hotel – where peace prize laureates traditionally greet the public, and visit the Norwegian Nobel Institute.
