VENEZUELA LOCAL [8TH AUGUST 2025] – Two Saint Lucians were among the international observers invited to witness Venezuela’s local government elections last week. While under mounting political and economic pressure from a decade of escalating American sanctions, the socialist party of Nicolas Maduro managed to dramatically increase the number of successful candidates. The main opposition boycotted the elections in a move that made way for smaller opposition candidates.
