“Most Venezuelans are thinking about the future: Will things
improve? Will deep changes come? Will we reunite as a people with
our history, dreams, and hopes?”

BBC correspondent Norberto Paredes speaks to Henrique Capriles, a
Venezuelan opposition leader, about his vision for a new
Venezuela.

In the aftermath of President Maduro’s capture by the United
States, Henrique Capriles is one of the key political voices
emerging - an alternative to the high-profile Maria Corina
Machado, Nobel-prize winner and vocal supporter of Trump’s
intervention.

Now it is time for Venezuela’s opposition to unite, he says, and
bring democracy to the country.

Henrique Capriles narrowly lost out on the presidency in both
2012 and 2013, before being banned from standing for public
office for many years. In 2025, he was elected to the National
Assembly.
