Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Returns After Nearly Year Abroad

Analysed 25 Oct 2026·8 sources analysed·Venezuela·Politics
Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Returns After Nearly Year AbroadPreviousNext

Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado returned to Venezuela after nearly a year in exile, announcing her arrival on social media. Her return follows the U.S. military's removal of former President Nicolás Maduro and the appointment of interim President Delcy Rodríguez, who has received U.S. support. Machado, who had been barred from leaving Venezuela and spent time in hiding, has vowed to push for democratic elections. The Trump administration has expressed support for Rodríguez, while Machado's return may complicate U.S.-Venezuela relations.
