The government of Peru recognizes Edmundo González Urrutia as the elected president of Venezuela and, like other countries in the region, has advocated for respect for the results of the presidential election on July 28, 2024.
Machado, who left Venezuela in December to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway, maintains an agenda of meetings and meetings with senior representatives from different countries to address the political situation in Venezuela, the transition to democracy and the demand for the release of all political prisoners.
This week he met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Argentina, Pablo Quino, and with the ambassador, Alec Oxenford, whom he thanked for the support of Javier Milei’s government to the fight of Venezuelans for the recovery of democracy and for their efforts in favor of political prisoners in the country.
