Join Leopoldo Lopez, a Venezuelan opposition leader and pro-democracy activist, along with Artie McConnell, a former federal prosecutor, and Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow at Chatham House, as they dive into the complex world of sanctions. They debate the effectiveness of these policies in challenging authoritarian regimes. Lopez shares personal stories of resistance from within Venezuela, while the group discusses the unintended consequences on civilians and the importance of a nuanced approach. Can sanctions truly promote democracy, or do they merely exacerbate suffering?
