Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino has called for a swift return to democracy in Venezuela, urging authorities to set a date for free and internationally monitored elections. Mulino stated that Venezuela is currently “exporting dictatorship,” implying a negative regional influence. The Panamanian leader emphasized the importance of regional cooperation in restoring democratic governance in the neighboring country. He did not specify what actions Panama might take if elections are not scheduled, but the statement represents a strong diplomatic pressure tactic. The call for a “prompt democratic transition” signals growing concern over the political situation in Venezuela. This demand follows ongoing international criticism of Venezuela’s electoral processes and human rights record. The statement was made publicly, amplifying the pressure on the Venezuelan government.
