He was elected as María Corina Machado's substitute legislator in the 2010 Venezuelan parliamentary election, representing Un Nuevo Tiempo.[2] 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 television channel RCTV shutdown, and the 2007 Venezuelan constitutional referendum.[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 unknown people, including an incendiary device thrown at his car in 2006, and an assault in 2009.[1]
In November 2012 Sánchez was one of three opposition substitute legislators who broke away from the Mesa de la Unidad Democrática opposition coalition.[3]
In 2015 he was a candidate for deputy to the National Assembly for the pro-government Great Patriotic Pole (GPP) and joined the ranks of Chavism, and would be later elected as member of the 2017 Constituent National Assembly.
