Responding to the May 2018 Venezuelan presidential election, Canada sanctioned 14 Venezuelans, including Díaz,[6] stating that the "economic, political and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has continued to worsen as it moves ever closer to full dictatorship."[7] The government said the 2018 presidential election was "illegitimate and anti-democratic,"[6] and sanctioned Díaz, along with 13 other members of the ANC and TSJ.[8]
