  "account": "Caracas, October 12 - Nearly ten months after secretly departing Venezuela, Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado has returned to her homeland, according to her own message on social media platform X. \"I'm here. With you,\" she declared. Opposition politician Edmundo González echoed her news, exclaiming, \"Venezuela! I'm overjoyed to inform you that our leader, my beloved Maria Corina, is now on Venezuelan soil.\" Today is \"a very important day,\" González added, emphasizing that Machado's return brings back our sovereign voice to steer this process in the right direction. The return coincides with a controversial US oil deal in Venezuela, which occurred just weeks after the arrest of authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro by US military in Caracas' capital. Since Maduro's capture in January, the oil-rich nation has been led by former Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly praised Rodríguez's cooperation with the US. Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to foster a free and democratic Venezuela. Before her departure for Oslo, she had been largely hidden in her homeland for over a year.",
