Venezuelan diaspora political and consular mobilization

Overview

Venezuelan diaspora organizations have begun mobilizing to secure political and consular rights during the country’s ongoing democratic transition. Initially, over 100 diaspora groups across Latin America, North America, and Europe issued a joint statement demanding inclusion in dialogues regarding national reconciliation and reinstitutionalization. They argued that excluding the nearly 7.8 million citizens living abroad undermines the process, noting that those of legal age represent approximately one-quarter of the national electoral registry. These groups specifically called for the expansion of consular networks and easier access to identity documents.

As the situation evolved, the focus of diaspora mobilization shifted toward specific regional concerns in the United States. The newly formed Coalition of Venezuelans in USA announced plans to mobilize voters in response to mass deportations and shifting immigration policies. This movement coincides with legal uncertainty for approximately 5,000 beneficiaries facing the expiration of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of State has expressed support for a democratic transition, stating a hope to see opposition figures return to Venezuela to facilitate sustainable elections.
