Venezuelan Opposition Leader Advocates Democratic Transition Aligned with U.S. GoalsPreviousNext

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, a Nobel laureate, supports a democratic transition in Venezuela aligned with U.S. goals following the January U.S. military action that removed Nicolas Maduro. While advocating negotiation without surrender or revenge, Machado emphasizes political progress and the need for democratic solutions. The interim government led by Delcy Rodriguez remains in power, with the opposition disputing the legitimacy of the 2024 presidential election. Machado intends to return to Venezuela despite challenges.
