Venezuela's transition is real — but incomplete. Maduro is gone. The regime is not.
Delcy Rodríguez's government boasted releasing 8,616 political prisoners under the Amnesty Law. Foro Penal confirmed just 768 actual releases. The law ended abruptly on April 25 — with hundreds still inside.
The new tactic: arrest, release under restrictive measures, ban from leaving the country. Alexis Paparoni, a Voluntad Popular leader, detained at Maiquetía airport weeks ago — released under this exact formula.
Freedom is not a gift given in installments. Venezuela needs free people, free speech, free elections. Nothing less is a transition.
