This resolution recognizes Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado for her unwavering commitment to a free and democratic Venezuela, despite the repressive environment under the Maduro regime. It highlights the 2023 opposition primary, which Machado won, and the subsequent July 2024 presidential election where Edmundo Gonzalez, running in her stead, secured a two-thirds majority, as documented by credible observers. The Senate congratulates Maria Corina Machado on her Nobel Peace Prize and demands the Maduro regime ensure her safety, release her colleagues, and all other political prisoners. Furthermore, the resolution formally recognizes the legitimate results of the July 2024 Venezuelan election won by Edmundo Gonzalez, expecting the Maduro regime to acknowledge these outcomes without delay. It ultimately reaffirms strong support for the Venezuelan people's aspirations to freely and democratically choose their leaders.
