Nobel Prize winner Machado says Venezuela is in 'chaos' under current regime

"I want to be very clear with this: Regime change was already mandated by the Venezuelan people on July 28, 2024,"

"The narrative of the regime right now is that if Maduro goes, chaos will come to Venezuela. That's absolutely false,"

"We won by a landslide in the presidential election, and we proved it with over 85% of the original tally sheets. The whole world knows that. Even Maduro's allies know that he was defeated,"

Maria Corina Machado is a Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner operating in hiding inside Venezuela. She describes the country as in profound, total chaos and calls for removal of President Nicolas Maduro, accusing his administration of rigging the July 28, 2024 election to secure a third term. Machado states that regime change was mandated by Venezuelan voters and says her side won by a landslide, citing over 85% of original tally sheets. Machado was barred from running, backed opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, and has faced assassination attempts, prosecutions, and political bans amid a mass exodus.
