Deputies from the Brazilian opposition congratulated the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for the international action that resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan dictator responsible for years of repression, electoral fraud and systematic human rights violations.

For parliamentarians, the operation represents a historic milestone and the end of a cycle of impunity in Latin America. According to them, the capture of Nicolás Maduro was a necessary and inevitable measure in the face of Venezuela’s institutional collapse.

Representative Sanderson (PL-RS) stated that the democratic world has finally acted. “Maduro’s time is over. The capture shows that dictators are not untouchable. International justice has begun to catch up with those who destroyed an entire country and condemned its people to misery.”

In the same vein, Rodrigo Valadares (União-SE) highlighted that the action led by Trump returns hope to the Venezuelan people. “Maduro fell because he built his power on fraud, violence and fear. His capture sends a clear message: freedom always wins over tyranny.”

For Rodolfo Nogueira (PL-MS), the episode exposes the isolation of those who insisted on defending the regime.
“Congratulations to Trump and my repudiation of Lula. While the world acted, the Brazilian government chose to ignore a dictator. History will take its toll on those who preferred ideology to democracy.”

Deputy Captain Alberto Neto (PL-AM) was direct in criticizing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. “Lula chose to defend Maduro when he should have defended democracy. This embarrasses Brazil and puts us on the wrong side of history.”

Coronel Tadeu (PL-SP) stated that the capture ends an era. “Maduro’s regime collapsed because it can no longer sustain itself in the free world. Dictators fall, and those who defend them fall with them.”

The parliamentarians highlighted that Maduro’s capture symbolizes the beginning of the democratic reconstruction of Venezuela and defended that Brazil resume a foreign policy aligned with free nations, abandoning collusion with authoritarian regimes.
