Venezuela Democracy Support: Sanctions and Humanitarian Aid
This act aims to promote democracy in Venezuela by supporting democratic and human rights groups, and imposing sanctions on the current government. Venezuelan citizens can expect future humanitarian and development aid once a democratic government is established, which should improve their daily lives and access to basic necessities.
Key points
Imposing financial sanctions on the current Venezuelan government, including prohibiting transactions with debt instruments and cryptocurrencies, which may affect the country's economic stability.
Blocking international support for a non-democratic Venezuelan government, potentially limiting its operational capacity.
Authorizing support for pro-democracy groups and humanitarian organizations in Venezuela, aiming to improve citizens' living conditions and promote political change.
Developing a plan for assistance to Venezuela after a democratic government is established, including food, medicine, and development support, directly impacting citizens' lives.
