Opposition leader María Corina Machado has returned to Venezuela after an extended period of exile. She expressed her presence on social media, stating "I am here. With you." Machado's return follows numerous failed attempts to re-enter the country. In January, US authorities seized her opponent, President Nicolás Maduro, and subsequently supported his deputy, Delcy Rodríguez, who became interim president.
During her recent visit to Venezuela, Machado participated in Mass at a church in the state of Lara, where she was greeted by supporters. She proceeded to travel to Caracas, her capital city, in a caravan of supporters. Upon her arrival in Caracas, she was greeted with smiles and cheers from the crowd. Her ally, Edmundo González, announced her arrival and expressed his excitement about her return, highlighting the significance of having "our sovereign voice" back in Venezuela.
González also pledged to join Machado in Venezuela and work towards achieving freedom for the nation.
