Catholic leaders in Venezuela skeptical of Maduro’s election promises

Retrieved

Although Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has promised that Venezuela will hold elections later in 2024, many of his critics, including Church officials, doubt that his regime will allow a free and transparent electoral process to take place and don’t expect concrete change anytime soon. At the same time, some critics of the Church’s response believe that Venezuela’s bishops should be more outspoken in challenging the Maduro regime, and that they may be hobbled by fear of a Nicaragua-style crackdown.
