María Corina Machado prepares a tour of Venezuela to forge a ‘national agreement’ that will drive the transition

María Corina Machado is planning a national tour in Venezuela to unite political and civil forces for a democratic transition. Following her return after ten months, she aims to engage with various societal actors and build a consensus for change. Her strategy includes a focus on security and mobilization, with a significant emphasis on social dialogue. Machado's approach seeks to avoid polarization, fostering alliances across the political spectrum, including with historical adversaries. The tour is expected to culminate in a national event in early 2027, outlining a roadmap for democracy.
