"My heart is with the Venezuelan mothers whose children have been disappeared and who still await answers. The so-called Amnesty law ended with far too many cases unresolved. A democratic transition and reconciliation require accountability, justice and truth." -@SenatorShaheen
La señora Carmen Teresa buscaba a su hijo Víctor Hugo Quero. Tocó puertas. Preguntó. Esperó.
¡Víctor Hugo llevaba nueve meses muerto cuando el régimen se dignó a responderle!
Lo detuvieron el 3 de enero de 2025. Murió el 24 de julio de 2025 en el Hospital Militar Carlos Arvelo. Lo enterraron sin avisarle a ella. Y el Estado llamó a eso "cumplimiento de protocolos".
Lo que aquí pasó, se llama desaparición forzada seguida de ejecución administrativa del olvido.
No hay protocolo ni explicación que justifique el sufrimiento de la señora Carmen Teresa ni de ninguna familia venezolana que hoy sigue buscando a sus desaparecidos.
Venezuela debe responder ante ella, ante ellas, y ante la justicia. Los venezolanos merecemos conocer la verdad.

WELCOME BACK: @GuyMentel is now a senior professional staff member for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. @SenateForeign @SFRCdems
Some bittersweet professional news: today I leave the State Department to begin a new role as Senior Professional Staff Member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It has been an extraordinary privilege to serve with so many brilliant public servants at State and beyond.

Today’s @ForeignPolicy LatAm Brief: the OAS is coming off a major success in democracy protection in 🇬🇹's election. Morale appears up after divisions of recent yrs. Could the body make a difference in case where democratic backsliding is more gradual, 🇵🇪?

Great event at @CFR_org to celebrate @pol_ange and his new book, “From Peril to Partnership.” Wonderful conversation on U.S.-Colombia and U.S.-Mexico partnership, expertly moderated by @shannonkoneil.
Confirmed, with minimal multilateral consensus building required: no hay mejores tamales que los de la Puerta Falsa en Bogotá.
