The capture of Nicolás Maduro has jolted the authoritarian landscape of the Americas – but it has not ended it. This panel brings together leading democratic voices from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba to asses what this moment means for entrenched dictatorships, hybrid authoritarian regimes like El Salvador, and countries potentially transitioning out of authoritarianism such as Bolivia and Honduras.

Pedro Urruchurtu - International Affairs Coordinator, Vente Venezuela
