The Florida Senate resolution, introduced by Senator Calatayud, emphasizes the critical role of the United States in combating narco-terrorism and holding Venezuelan leader Nicols Maduro accountable for his alleged involvement in narcotics trafficking and collaboration with criminal organizations. The resolution highlights the threats posed by Maduro's regime to democracy, human rights, and stability in Venezuela and the Western Hemisphere, while also addressing the influence of foreign powers like China, Russia, and Iran in the region. It calls for the immediate release of political prisoners in Venezuela as a necessary step toward a democratic transition and expresses solidarity with the Venezuelan people and their democratic leaders.

Furthermore, the resolution commends President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their efforts in confronting narco-terrorism and supporting democracy in Venezuela. It denounces foreign interference, particularly from Cuban officials, and advocates for a peaceful transition to democracy that respects human rights and the rule of law. The resolution underscores the importance of restoring democracy in Venezuela for regional stability and prosperity, and it aims to strengthen the cultural and economic ties between Venezuela, the United States, and the State of Florida. Copies of the resolution will be sent to various officials and international partners to convey the sentiments of the Florida Senate.
