In their quest for a fair, free and peaceful transition of power, they have fearlessly upheld values that millions of Venezuelans and the European Parliament hold so dear: justice, democracy and the rule of law. The European Parliament stands with the people of Venezuela and with Mar\u00eda Corina Machado and President-elect Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia in their struggle for the democratic future of their country. This award is for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mar\u00eda Corina Machado<\/strong> was elected as the Venezuelan opposition\u2019s presidential candidate on behalf of the \u2018Unity Democratic Platform\u2019 in 2023 but was later disqualified by the regime-controlled National Electoral Council.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia<\/strong>, a diplomat and politician who succeeded her as the \u2018Unity Democratic Platform\u2019 candidate, denounced the Venezuelan government\u2019s failure to publish the official results of the presidential elections and contested Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2019s declared victory. Mr Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia left the country in September after a warrant was issued to arrest him.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/doceo\/document\/TA-10-2024-0013_EN.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-analytics-event-attached=\"true\">resolution adopted on 19 September<\/a>\u00a02024, MEPs stressed that international election observation missions made it clear that the Venezuelan presidential election did not comply with international standards of electoral integrity. They recognised Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia as the legitimate and democratically-elected president of the country, and Mar\u00eda Corina Machado as the leader of the democratic forces.<\/p>\n<p>Parliament condemned \u201cthe electoral fraud\u201d and the serious and systematic human rights violations perpetrated against the democratic opposition, the Venezuelan people, and civil society.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Venezuelan government, 2 400 people were arrested during demonstrations that followed the election and non-governmental organisations have reported the deaths of 24 people. Mar\u00eda Corina Machado remains in hiding, while Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia fled to Spain, which granted him political asylum on 7 September.<\/p>\n<p>In its September 2024 resolution, Parliament called on the EU to extend sanctions against the Venezuelan regime and to apply targeted sanctions through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eeas.europa.eu\/eeas\/eu-has-new-powerful-tool-protect-human-rights-eu-global-human-rights-sanctions-regime-0_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-analytics-event-attached=\"true\">EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime<\/a>\u00a0against Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his inner circle.
