Taraciuk Broner: “They are either going into a Nicaraguan full-fledged dictatorship or negotiate a way out”

Tamara Taraciuk Broner, Dialogue’s Rule of Law Program director, spoke with BBC News regarding Venezuela’s presidential election on July 28 2024, and the post-electoral repression and international pressure.
