Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been spreading misinformation about opposition leader María Corina Machado supposedly leaving the country. Despite Maduro’s claims, Machado has denied this exile.
Maduro is facing a political crisis following accusations of election fraud. He has targeted Machado and presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, claiming they fled to Spain. However, Machado remains in Venezuela, fighting for the recognition of the opposition’s victory.
The government’s crackdown on political opponents has led to arrests and increased repression. Machado is now in semi-clandestine conditions, evading Maduro’s regime. Meanwhile, the international community is cautious about recognizing Maduro’s victory, with conflicting reports about Machado’s whereabouts.
Despite the pressure, Machado remains resilient in her fight for democracy in Venezuela. She is determined to continue the struggle from within the country and uphold the opposition’s victory. Sign up for our weekly newsletter for more English-language news coverage.
