Debbie Mucarsel-Powell Advocates for Freedom and Democracy in Venezuela

Miami, FL – Debbie Mucarsel-Powell continues to support the Venezuelan people in their fight for freedom and calls on our allies to uphold the will of the people in Venezuela.

“After living under a brutal dictatorship for more than a generation, the people of Venezuela have spoken and they have had enough,” said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. No corrupt dictator can overcome the will and the bravery of the Venezuelan people standing strong in the face of oppression to demand freedom and democracy – but the United States cannot stop showing our support. This is the moment for the unity of all nations in our hemisphere and the U.S. must lead this effort by encouraging our allies to recognize Edmundo González as the duly elected leader of Venezuela and praising those who immediately stood strong for democracy. America should be a beacon of freedom for the world as we have been for generations. Make no mistake, Venezuela will be free.”

  • Más tarde, en un mensaje a través de la red social X, Mucarsel-Powell reiteró su apoyo a la oposición venezolana y a su líder, Edmundo González Urrutia. “Los venezolanos nos han demostrado su fuerza y ​​perseverancia, y cuando de libertad y JUSTICIA se trata, NO se darán por vencidos. Maduro es un dictador que se niega a aceptar la voluntad del pueblo: el presidente electo de Venezuela es Edmundo González. La libertad y la transición pacífica a la democracia DEBEN prevalecer”, escribió.
