The Venezuelan opposition said that ten mayors across two states have been banned from holding political office by the government for supporting its presidential candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia, in the upcoming elections.
In a publication on X, González Urrutia expressed solidarity with the officials, located in the states of Trujillo and Nueva Esparta. "The growing levels of political persecution confirm that Venezuela has decided to change and will show it on July 28," said the candidate, in reference to the date of the elections.
