• Chavismo has intensified the repression against political dissidence to ensure Maduro's victory.
• Supreme Court has become a tool of the current regime to disqualify the only candidate capable of forming a united front against Maduro, María Corina Machado.
• Ruination and violence have pushed 8.5 million Venezuelans into exile.
• Chavismo has a history of harassing dissidents, as demonstrated in the cases of General Baduel and activist Javier Tarazona.
• Chavismo has hindered the registration of Machado's successor, Corina Yoris, showing their unwillingness to comply with the Barbados Agreements.
• Chavismo remains on an autocratic drift, incompatible with its reintegration into the international community.

Conclusion: The only solution to restore the rights of the Venezuelan people is to reinstate sanctions on oil and gas and thereby reverse the whitewashing of the oppressive government.
