Former Venezuelan magistrate alleges coercion in Machado disqualification ruling

Bárbara César Siero, a former TSJ magistrate, claims she was coerced into signing disqualification rulings against María Corina Machado, barring her from the 2024 presidential race. The allegation, if corroborated, would undermine the legitimacy of the judicial process and support opposition claims of political persecution. The claim is unverified and comes from a single source.
