The disqualification of María Corina Machado threatens the international opening of Venezuela. The United States urges Maduro to allow all opposition candidates to participate and to release more political prisoners before April.

Meanwhile, the White House revokes a gold mining license signed after the agreements reached between Chavismo and the opposition in Barbados. Venezuela has suspended the rights to run for Machado, whom it accuses of being part of a corruption plot generated during the interim of Juan Guaidó. The rope is stretched to the maximum to return to another stagnation of the crisis in Venezuela.
