About the Expert

Who Is Leopoldo López?

Leopoldo López is a political leader, activist, and a symbol of Venezuela’s opposition movement. Declared a Prisoner of Conscience by Amnesty International, López was sentenced to 13 years in prison, serving five years before being pardoned in 2019 by interim President Juan Guaidó. Founder of the political party Voluntad Popular, he has devoted his life to advocating for the rights of Venezuelans, enduring relentless persecution and arbitrary rulings. López stands as an international example of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

What is his Background?

Before his imprisonment, Leopoldo López served as mayor of Chacao, earning re-election with 81% of the vote and international recognition as one of the world’s best mayors by the World Mayor prize. Throughout his career, he has faced two political disqualifications and an arrest denounced as arbitrary by organizations like Human Rights Watch and the United Nations. López is also the author of *Preso pero libre* and *Venezuela Energética* and a recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the European Parliament’s 2017 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.
