Venezuelans in Madeira Called to Demand Presidential Elections

Venezuelans living in Madeira have been called to a rally on Saturday, October 17, at 5 PM, in Praça do Povo, Funchal. The event, organized by Mundo ConVzla, aims to demand the scheduling of a date for presidential elections in Venezuela.

This initiative is part of an international mobilization advocating for free, fair, and verifiable elections. The organization urges Venezuelans worldwide to return to the streets to demand an election date, arguing that the country needs legitimate institutions and an executive power elected by popular vote.

Luis Tarbay, coordinator for Mundo ConVzla, stated that the mobilization seeks to restore to Venezuelans the ability to decide their country's future through voting. The organization highlights that the lack of institutional legitimacy impacts the response to Venezuela's crisis, particularly affecting essential public services.
