VENEZUELA’S PUBLIC OPINION IN THE POST-MADURO ERA - Join the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center for a discussion unpacking the first in-person polling in Venezuela since Nicolas Maduro’s removal.

What do Venezuelans think about Maduro’s removal, US policy, and what may come next? The answer: cautious hope. The event will feature a presentation of the poll results, followed by a discussion on their significance for policymakers and prospects for a democratic transition. This expert discussion will provide insight into Venezuelan public opinion, as well as citizens’ expectations and priorities for the future—including views on governance, the economy, and security.

This event is part of the Atlantic Council’s #VenezuelaForward series, where we shed light on the country’s future through ideas that promote economic stabilization and a democratic transition.
