Maria Corina Machado said that the current situation in the country leads Venezuelans to fear for their safety, their freedom and their lives.
The coordinator of the political organization Vente Venezuela, María Corina Machado, criticized on NTN24 on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 13, that there is a double message from the administration of Nicolás Maduro against her.
“One day the prosecutor comes out saying that there are no arrest warrants and the next Nicolás Maduro comes out saying that I am a terrorist fugitive from justice. We are in a situation in which everyone in Venezuela fears for their safety, freedom and life,” said Machado.
She explained that she speaks with the mothers of the boys arrested and killed, saying that trying to give comfort and face has been one of the hardest moments she has experienced and insisted that the country has already changed “for the better.”

In a press conference via Zoom with media from Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, Machado emphasized: “We are still on the streets in a peaceful and civil manner, but that does not mean that I am weak (…) We are going all the way until Maduro understands that his best option is to accept a negotiated transition with guarantees.”
