Wasserman Schultz on Juan Guaidó’s Service to Venezuelan Democracy

Washington, January 5, 2023
I’m grateful for Juan Guaidó’s unyielding efforts to galvanize the Venezuelan people and the international community in support of the restoration of democracy in Venezuela.

Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) issued the following statement on the agreement reached to extend the authority of the Venezuelan National Assembly, the only remaining democratically elected institution in Venezuela:

“I’m grateful for Juan Guaidó’s unyielding efforts to galvanize the Venezuelan people and the international community in support of the restoration of democracy in Venezuela. He and his team, especially Carlos Vecchio, served their country well, and I am proud to count them not just as allies but as friends.

I look forward to continued collaboration with the Biden Administration and the democratic opposition to the Maduro regime to make concrete progress on our shared priorities: free elections, the release of political prisoners, and respect for human rights in Venezuela.”
