Latest Action · August 2, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution recognizes opposition candidate Edmundo González as the rightful winner of Venezuela's July 28, 2024 presidential election and condemns the Nicolás Maduro regime. The measure details allegations that Maduro has engaged in corruption, human rights violations, illegal arrests, and extrajudicial killings while remaining in power since 2013, and claims the Maduro government improperly prevented the election results from being verified by opposition observers. The resolution calls on the Biden Administration to impose additional sanctions on Maduro and his associates for alleged electoral fraud, and it expresses support for opposition leader María Corina Machado and other Venezuelan democratic activists. As a House resolution, this is a statement of congressional sentiment rather than law and does not require presidential signature or direct funding, though it may influence U.S. foreign policy toward Venezuela.
