Join us on Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 3:30 PM for the panel discussion “Elecciones Presidenciales en Venezuela.” This event will take place in person in GC 150 and via Zoom Webinar.

The Venezuelan presidential elections will be held on July 28, 2024, and Nicolás Maduro will face the biggest electoral challenge since he took office in 2013. After the disqualification of María Corina Machado from running for president, diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia, nominated by the largest opposition coalition is Maduro's main opponent in these elections.  All the polls clearly indicate that the Venezuelan people are eager to vote, making the upcoming presidential elections a key political moment.

What are the challenges that the democratic opposition will have to overcome during these elections to materialize the Venezuelan people's will for political change? Do these elections present a real opportunity for the reestablishment of democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela? Is the normalization of Venezuela's relations with the United States and the international community possible? A panel of experts will discuss the upcoming presidential elections in Venezuela and answer these and other important questions.
