Ricardo Sánchez Mujica (born 1983[1]) is a Venezuelan politician and former student leader. He was elected as María Corina Machado's substitute legislator in the Venezuelan parliamentary election, 2010, representing Un Nuevo Tiempo.[2] In November 2012 Sánchez was one of three opposition substitute legislators who broke away from the Mesa de la Unidad Democrática opposition coalition, accusing its leadership of acting in an "abusive" and "arbitrary" manner.[3] Sánchez was elected President of the Federación de Centros Universitarios (FCU) at the Central University of Venezuela in 2007 and re-elected in 2008, and was one of the most prominent student leaders during 2007 protests against the failure to renew RCTV's broadcast license, and the Venezuelan constitutional referendum, 2007.[1][2] In 2008 Sánchez was named by the United Nations Economic and Social Council as Youth Ambassador for the promotion of peace in the Americas.[1]

Sánchez has suffered several attacks by persons unknown, including an incendiary device thrown at his car in 2006, and an assault in 2009.[1]
