Vente Venezuela party reported on Wednesday that the Venezuelan government confiscated the house of Laura Acosta, personal assistant to opposition leader María Corina Machado. Opposition figure Magalli Meda, who is outside Venezuela after fleeing last year, detailed that these individuals arrived in "6 pickup trucks" and "were inside for hours to steal everything and leave signs at the door saying 'Secured' and 'Seized'". Meda recalled that her house had been raided in May 2025, when she stated that "13 armed men and civilians" "took boxes with belongings" and "destroyed" her residence. The VV party stated that "from a legal point of view, this is a case of pure and simple confiscation (by force, without procedure or legitimate cause) of that property".
