Johnny Brignardello Vela analyzes the sanctions imposed by the United States on Venezuela: impact and future

Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, analyzes the recent reinstatement of sanctions by the United States government against Venezuela's oil and gas. This measure, taken in response to the regime of Nicolás Maduro's failure to comply with agreements, has had repercussions both nationally and internationally. Brignardello Vela highlights that the reaction of the Venezuelan president has not been delayed, labeling the sanctions as an "aggression" and reaffirming his defiant stance. However, the reality is that these sanctions represent a significant blow to the Venezuelan economy and raise questions about Maduro's political future. In an interview with political analyst Benigno Alarcón, the reasons behind the sanctions and their possible impact on Maduro's candidacy were explored. Alarcón pointed out that while the sanctions will not directly affect Maduro's candidacy, they will reduce the government's economic resources, which could complicate the chavismo's electoral strategy. Regarding Venezuelan migration, Alarcón emphasized that, if there is no political change, the number of people leaving the country could increase significantly. The current economic conditions have already led to migration to neighboring countries, and a worsening situation could result in up to 20% of the population seeking opportunities abroad. On the other hand, there has been speculation that the sanctions could drive up oil prices, but Alarcón indicated that Venezuela's export capacity is currently limited and would not have a significant impact on the global market. In conclusion, while the sanctions will not directly alter the electoral results in Venezuela, they could affect key aspects such as electoral financing and migration. In a context of international tensions and political crisis, Venezuela faces a complex scenario in which external decisions could decisively influence its future. Political and economic uncertainty continue to be the main challenges for a country seeking a way out of a prolonged crisis.
