Macron:

The Venezuelan people are today rid of the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro and can only rejoice at this.

By seizing power and trampling on fundamental freedoms, Nicolás Maduro has dealt a grave blow to the dignity of his own people.

The transition to come must be peaceful, democratic, and respectful of the will of the Venezuelan people.

We hope that President Edmundo González Urrutia, elected in 2024, will be able to ensure this transition as quickly as possible.
