María Corina continues to be a beacon of hope
Mike Waltz, the future National Security Advisor to the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, highlighted that opposition leader María Corina Machado continues to be a beacon of hope for Venezuelans.
“María Corina Machado continues to be a beacon of hope for Venezuelans who rejected Maduro and his socialist authoritarianism,” Waltz wrote in a message published this Wednesday on X (formerly Twitter).
The Republican expressed his pride that the House of Representatives has approved the Bolívar bill, which seeks to prevent the US government from doing business with anyone who has commercial ties with the Maduro government.
On Monday, the House of Representatives approved the Bolívar Law, a bipartisan measure that prohibits the United States government from contracting with companies that carry out commercial operations with the regime of Nicolás Maduro or with any successor government not recognized by Washington.
“Venezuela is in crisis due to the illegitimate and authoritarian government and the Marxist policies of Nicolás Maduro and his Caracas cartel,” Waltz stated in Congress.
“Our policy must be based on solidarity with the brave activists who seek to break the chains of oppression and not provide aid and comfort to their oppressors,” he added.
