Orlando Avendaño described María Elvira Salazar as a constant ally of the Venezuelan cause and said that her defense of freedom in Venezuela had led her to take on disputes in Congress. He stated that Salazar and other congressmen had kept the Venezuelan issue in the legislative debate, especially in previous years, before Venezuela became a priority for the United States. Avendaño also highlighted Salazar's and other Republicans' pressure to revoke Chevron's license, in relation to the capture of Maduro and, more recently, to the democratization of Venezuela. He urged Venezuelans to support their allies and said that Salazar must win in November. He wrote that a free Venezuela would be the best immigration policy. #VenezuelaLibre #ApoyoALíderes #DemocraciaVenezolana (translated)

Orlando Avendaño wrote that María Corina Machado spent her birthday in exile, after the regime allegedly kept her in hiding for months before she escaped by sea. He described her as the woman with the greatest legitimacy and popular support in the history of Venezuela and linked her exile to that of millions of Venezuelans who, he claimed, had settled outside the country due to persecution. Avendaño said that hundreds of thousands celebrated Machado because she had restored hope to them after years of apathy and believing that Venezuela had no solution. He attributed that change to her campaign in 2023 and 2024, which, he wrote, awakened the country. He also noted that Machado had not been able to return despite having tried seven times that year. He characterized that situation as a disregard for the majority of Venezuelans and stated that she would come back. #Venezuela #Exilio #MaríaCorinaMachado (translated)

Orlando Avendaño wrote that a former magistrate of the chavista TSJ had claimed that the regime threatened her and kidnapped family members to force her to maintain the disqualification of María Corina Machado. https://t.co/4QeZ8eEaBx #Venezuela #DerechosHumanos #Justicia (translated)
