The Venezuelan opposition party Vente Venezuela has reported the detention of Catalina Ramos, the national coordinator of its Citizen Associations, in Caracas on May 26, 2025, a day after national elections. The party and her family have denounced her arrest as arbitrary and have called for information on her whereabouts. This incident is part of a broader pattern of repression by the Maduro regime against opposition leaders and civil society organizations. Other opposition figures, including Biagio Pilieri, who has been detained for nine months, remain imprisoned, with calls from leaders like María Corina Machado for their release.

Machado has reaffirmed her commitment to remain in Venezuela and continue the political struggle despite the risks. Additionally, four Venezuelan opposition members were recently rescued from the Argentine embassy in Caracas in an operation described as a significant escape from government surveillance. One of the rescued opponents stated that the Trump administration "knows what has to happen in Venezuela," highlighting international attention on the country's political crisis. Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the Venezuelan Committee for the Freedom of Political Prisoners, have expressed concern over the deteriorating health of detained opposition figures such as former deputy Américo de Grazia and condemned the increasing criminalization and persecution of NGOs and civil society activists by Venezuelan authorities. The situation reflects escalating tensions and repression following the elections, with opposition members and civil society facing intensified government pressure.
