A resolution condemning Nicolas Maduro and the Venezuelan regime's continued human rights abuses, political repression, and dismantling of democratic institutions, and recognizing the resilience of the Venezuelan democratic opposition under the leadership of Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez.
This Senate resolution (SRES 339) condemns Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's government for ongoing human rights violations, political repression, and undermining democratic processes, including election interference and the detention of opposition figures. It specifically recognizes the leadership of Venezuelan opposition figures María Corina Machado and Edmundo González amid their efforts to restore democracy. The resolution urges Maduro to release all political prisoners, calls on the U.S. administration to support a democratic transition in Venezuela, and affirms U.S. Senate support for Venezuela’s democratic opposition. As a symbolic measure, it does not enact new laws or impose sanctions but formally expresses the Senate’s stance on Venezuela’s political crisis.
