Venezuelan opposition leader Machado has returned to her homeland after nearly a year

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado returned home after nearly a year, receiving a warm welcome from supporters in Barquisimeto. She announced her return on social media, expressing her commitment to her followers. Machado's return may complicate her relationship with the U.S. administration, which has shifted support towards former Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. U.S. President Trump stated he was unaware of Machado's return and emphasized ongoing cooperation with Rodríguez. Machado plans to meet with earthquake victims and political prisoners' families, having previously left Venezuela to accept the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo.
