Briefings
Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado returned to Caracas after 16 months of exile following her 2024 Nobel Peace Prize win, though she faced repeated entry attempts by the Maduro administration. Her safe passage was attributed to Washington-backed negotiations with interim president Delcy Rodríguez, but Venezuelan civil society remains divided on whether this signals a return to democracy or a new political trap.
Key points
- María Corina Machado arrived in Caracas on October 25, 2026, after spending 16 months in hiding following her 2024 Nobel Peace Prize win for her campaign during Venezuela's 2024 presidential elections.
- Machado's safe return was attributed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Washington-driven negotiations with interim president Delcy Rodríguez, which allegedly facilitated the release of hundreds of political prisoners and the return of exiled opposition figures.
