The DipTel E102: Leopoldo López

How far would you go to fight for democracy?

In July 2024, following 25 years of autocracy and dictatorship, Venezuela’s election was stolen by President Maduro. On this episode of The DipTel, we speak to Leopoldo López, leader of the Venezuelan opposition party, Popular Will, and General Secretary of the World Liberty Congress, a new organisation which brings together freedom fighters from around the world.

From exile in Spain, López explores what events in Venezuela mean for the fight between democracy and autocracy with Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Senior Advisor in geopolitics at Audley, Associate Fellow at RUSI, and former SAS officer.
