Venezuelan opposition front demands probe into El Nacional seizure, facility restitution

The National Understanding Front (FEN) has formally demanded a thorough investigation into the seizure of the newspaper El Nacional and the immediate return of its facilities, citing a systematic pattern of harassment and persecution against its staff, including forced exile of its editor. This marks an escalation in political pressure over media freedom in Venezuela, though the government has not responded. The demand signals continued opposition mobilization around press freedom ahead of potential political negotiations.
