This follows the sentencing of another opposition mayor, Ramón Muchacho. Opposition leaders condemned the judiciary's actions, accusing it of serving President Nicolás Maduro's government. They called for continued protests, emphasizing that abandoning the streets would mean surrendering to the regime. Despite several opposition leaders being barred from public office, the coalition Mesa de la Unidad Democrática announced its participation in the upcoming regional elections.
