Local legislators expressed opposing views on international action in Venezuelan territory

The fall of Nicolás Maduro's regime caused various reactions among the Córdoba representatives who hold seats in the National Congress today. Deputy Gabriel Bornoroni was one of the first to speak out publicly after the capture of the Venezuelan leader by American forces became known. This situation marks a turning point in regional politics and puts the ideological positions of the leaders of Córdoba under scrutiny.
Meanwhile, the national deputies' bloc of La Libertad Avanza decided to formalize its support through an institutional declaration bill. The text seeks for the lower house to officially support the removal of the dictator and his wife, Cilia Flores, from the territory of that Caribbean country. "Venezuela will be free," stated the members of the ruling party through a communiqué widely disseminated on social media.
Bornoroni celebrated the event by emphasizing that the end of tyranny is a reason for joy for all those citizens who value freedom. The legislator also questioned the attitude of certain sectors that, in his view, come out in defense of a regime that violated essential rights. With the slogan "VLLC!!!", the libertarian leader closed his message on digital platforms, marking a clear stance in the face of the collapse of Chavismo.

Questionable view of Natalia de la Sota
On the opposite side stood Natalia de la Sota, who chose to focus her speech on alleged irregularities in international law. The pro-Kirchnerist deputy described the action as a military attack and a violation of international law that Argentina should have denounced. Her words strikingly omitted the context of oppression that the Venezuelan people have suffered for more than 20 years under left-wing governments.
The legislator considered that "the violation of international law and the military attack on the people of Venezuela set a serious precedent that Argentina had to condemn officially, but did not." It is alarming that the leader seems to be unaware of the suffering, extreme poverty, and political persecution that characterized Maduro's rule. By labeling the operation as illegal, the deputy prioritizes technicalities over the liberation of a society suffocated by a bloody dictatorship.
Finally, the official stressed that "authoritarianism must be rejected without endorsing an illegal operation that only pursues economic interests," according to her view. This stance has been met with strong criticism, since it downplays the ordeal of millions of citizens who were forced to emigrate from the country. Meanwhile, as the world celebrates the return of democratic hope, some local voices seem to cling to narratives that ignore Venezuela's reality.
