Maduro's son defends Hate Law as 'pacification' tool, admits excesses

Nicolás Maduro Guerra, son of the Venezuelan president and deputy in the 2025 National Assembly, publicly defended the Hate Law as necessary to pacify the country, while acknowledging government excesses in its implementation. This marks a rare admission of abuses from within the ruling PSUV, though it remains unclear if this signals any policy shift or is merely rhetorical.
