The situation Bárbara Gabriela César Siero describes involves the Maduro regime forcing a former Venezuelan Supreme Tribunal of Justice magistrate to sign disqualifications against María Corina Machado through threats and kidnapping of family members. Her daughter was used as leverage to deliver decisions for signature without regular procedures while assistants received the documents and waited for completion. Signing happened while fearing for the lives of missing brothers, sister-in-law, other family members, and herself. The coerced acts included disqualifications for Pablo Pérez Álvarez, Rosa Brandonicio de Escarano, and Enrique Capriles Radoski alongside the case against Machado.
