Sponsored By: Senator Cruz, Ted [R-TX]

Introduced

Reaffirms U.S. support for a peaceful democratic transition in Venezuela through free and fair elections. It would press Venezuela's interim authorities to restore democratic governance, demand the immediate release of political prisoners, and warn that serious harm to candidates would prompt U.S. accountability steps.

Show full summary
  • Venezuelan interim authorities would be urged to take immediate steps to restore democratic governance and hold free, fair, and transparent presidential elections.
  • Political prisoners and opposition figures would be the focus of a call for unconditional and immediate release, including those detained in connection with the July 2024 election.
  • The resolution would declare that arbitrary detention, assault, disappearance, death, or other serious harm to people seeking office would gravely undermine future elections, presume interim-authority complicity, and require U.S. actions to hold responsible parties accountable.
