This question will use The Economist's Democracy Index, resolving YES if Venezuela's democracy score is lower in the next report (to be published in early 2027) compared to the last report (which has yet to be published, but should come out in early 2026).
If Venezuela's democracy score for 2026 is the same or higher, this question resolves NO.

So far it seems not good: https://archive.is/2026.01.07-060520/https://www.ft.com/content/b3a2763a-3987-419e-bcf1-11432f747182
From the sources I've seen, regime change leads to minor improvements in these types of indexes. Libya improved from 1.94 to 3.55 to 5.15 from 2010 to 2012 and Iraq's civil liberty score improved under Freedom House after 2003, though the Economist's Democracy Index was not yet created for reference here.
