Venezuelan opponent María Corina Machado said that the United States risked the lives of its citizens to overthrow the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro, which is why she dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump.
Appearing on video from an undisclosed location in the US, Machado said this Saturday (14) that he would return home as soon as possible, and his return would be coordinated with the US government.
Machado alleged that Venezuela’s current interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, was closely linked to the criminal environment of the Maduro regime – days after the US Secretary of Energy, , met with Rodríguez in Caracas and visited the country’s oil facilities with her.
Machado said the release of political prisoners was an example of growing pressure on the Venezuelan government. But hundreds remained behind bars, she said.
She said she had spoken on Friday (13) with her opposition colleague, who was arrested again this week, just two days after his release from prison. She said he was under house arrest and his home was surrounded by security teams.
