Venezuelan opposition politician and former presidential candidate, Leopoldo Lopez, speaks during a press conference of the World Liberty Congress, a group created to unify 'dissident' voices from more than 60 countries in the world, at the National Press Club in Washington, USA, 12 March 2024. A group of opposition politicians from more than a dozen countries such as Venezuela, Russia and Nicaragua asked this Tuesday for greater support from the United States and the European Union in their fights "for freedom." In a press conference, activists denounced that this year 15 elections that they consider "fraudulent" are being held around the world and asked both Washington and Brussels to take stronger positions and actions against the governments of their countries of origin.
