Calls in Venezuela for Maria Corina Machado's ineligibility to be overturned
The cancellation of the measure against Maria Corina Machado is now being demanded, following statements from a former judge claiming to have acted under duress. According to France 24 — Amériques, the leader's political party is calling for urgent investigations as well as the "immediate" lifting of this sanction, which was issued ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
According to France 24 — Amériques, a former Supreme Court magistrate revealed on Thursday that she had been pressured to validate the electoral ban targeting the opposition leader. For its part, Le Monde — Amériques specifies that the former member of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice is named Barbara Cesar Siero.
Arrests targeting the magistrate's entourage
According to Le Monde — Amériques, this magistrate claims that members of her family were subjected to arrests intended to force her agreement. This maneuver was aimed at formalizing the electoral disqualification of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate before the 2024 vote.
