Maduro’s Fall and the Future of Authoritarians in Latin America

June 3, 2026
11:45-12:45

The capture of Nicolás Maduro has jolted the authoritarian landscape of the Americas — but it has not ended it. This panel brings together leading democratic voices from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba to assess what this moment means for entrenched dictatorships, hybrid authoritarian regimes like El Salvador, and countries potentially transitioning out of authoritarianism such as Bolivia and Honduras.
