Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado has ruled out challenging her political disqualification via the country’s Supreme Court. In a press conference on Wednesday, the far-right leader called her ban “non-existent” and argued there was “nothing to appeal.” “Our strategy is citizen organization, towards free and competitive elections,” she said. “The procedure proposed by the regime restricts the electoral route,” Machado added, in reference to an agreement between Venezuelan government and opposition dialogue delegations to set up a review process via the Supreme Court. On November 30, the participants of the recent Barbados Agreement announced that opposition politicians currently barred from holding political office could file appeals before the maximum judicial instance until December 15. https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/venezuela-us-backed-machado-refuses-to-appeal-ban-gets-florida-endorsement/
