Venezuelan opposition: Nobel Prize winner Machado wants to return to Venezuela soon

María Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader, plans to return to her home country as soon as possible to actively participate in the country's political transition. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Machado stated that the time for her return has come and that she cannot lead the process from outside.
