“At Voluntad Popular (VP) we strongly reject the alleged investigation, which is nothing more than a farce, that the regime’s prosecutor opened against our leader. We alert the international community that this is a new excuse for the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro to persecute and detain the democratic leader of Venezuelans,” said VP.
The party pointed out that no free country in the world should tolerate any action that threatens the safety of María Corina Machado. “In Venezuela we all know, the Prosecutor’s Office acts as the judicial arm of the dictatorshipso any supposed investigation or decision has no credibility or legal basis,” they published in X.
Edmundo González Urrutia, for his part, said that the accusation against Machado “is not only an attack against her, but against all Venezuelans who dream of freedom and justice.” «The regime demonstrates, once again, its fear of a woman who has mobilized an entire nation and who, despite persecution, continues to advance so that the sovereign will of all Venezuelans is recognized. “They ignore that María Corina’s commitment to the well-being of Venezuelans is unbreakable.”
