María Corina Machado has reappeared in Caracas. He did so 24 hours before Nicolás Maduro took office and after 133 days without being seen in public. She is under an arrest warrant for conspiring against the Maduro Government, following the July 28 elections, the result of which the EU does not recognize, among others, due to the absence of electoral records that corroborate the results of the elections. The main opposition leader in the country has participated in one of the protest concentrations against Maduro’s investiture that have been held in Venezuela and also outside the country, as is the case in Brussels, Rome or Madrid, in Europe.

More than four months later, one day after Maduro’s presidential inauguration, which Edmundo González Urrutia also claims, Machado took to the streets to claim the opposition’s victory in the elections on July 28. “I have never felt so proud in my life. Throughout Venezuela, people took to the streets,” she said, upon arriving at the place where her followers were waiting for her. “We are not afraid,” Machado shouted.
The opposition leader stated that the members of the Government “have been left alone internationally,” to which the protesters responded in unison with the cry of “freedom.”
Machado had called on opposition sympathizers to remain focused on “all of Venezuela”, with “serenity and firmness”, and demonstrate for the “fight” and “conquest” of “freedom”, and with “the same energy” of the 28th. July.
Trumpism warns
“Today, the United States stands with María Corina Machado as she leads millions of Venezuelans in protest against the brutal Chavista regime of Nicolás Maduro,” stated the Republican account of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the US Congress: “While Edmundo González prepares to Returning to Venezuela, we warn Maduro and his thugs that the United States is watching and that, like Venezuela, it will soon be under new, stronger leadership. “When President Trump takes office, the days of appeasement will be over.”
