Venezuelans in Mexico ask for free elections

MEXICO CITY (EFE).— Dozens of Venezuelans in Mexico City demanded free elections yesterday Saturday towards the presidential elections on July 28 in the South American nation.

The protesters went out to the Mexican capital with Venezuelan flags and banners after the opposition María Corina Machado’s call to Venezuelans in 50 cities abroad.

In addition, Venezuelans in Mexico criticized the electoral blockade to prevent Corina Machado from competing in the next elections in Venezuela on July 28 and the obstacles in the registration of the historian Corina Yoris to the process.

In this sense, attendees asked for an end to human rights violations in that country, the release of political prisoners and denounced the difficulties they have faced in registering in the electoral registry.

Among the attendees who shouted “freedom, freedom” demonstrated in Lincoln Park, in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City, everyone from minors to older adults could be seen participating.

Attendees carried Venezuelan flags and banners that read “We raise our voices for Venezuela,” “Demanding democracy for Venezuela is not a crime,” or demands to release political prisoners with their photographs.

“The world sees everything that unites us, Venezuelans are today united in a common dream: to liberate our country and reunite our families. The world admires the capacity for organization, for resilience, for courage that we have shown,” said the former deputy in videos that she shared in X of her party, Vente Venezuela.

Hundreds of Venezuelans participated in demonstrations that took place in more than a dozen countries, where migrants chanted slogans in favor of “free elections” in their nation and in support of opposition leader María Corina Machado, who called for these activities in 50 cities.
