Context piece
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said María Corina Machado has the right to return to Venezuela whenever she chooses.
- Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has not yet returned to the country.
- Washington is working closely with Maduro’s successor, while insisting that Machado’s security must be guaranteed.
María Corina Machado can return to Venezuela whenever she wants, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate has so far stayed outside her home country.
“She is a Venezuelan citizen and has every right to travel to her country whenever she wants to return,” Rubio said in a Spanish-language interview.
The statement comes as Washington works closely with the successor of longtime ruler Nicolás Maduro. Machado’s return is therefore linked not only to her formal right to enter Venezuela, but also to the question of whether her safety can be guaranteed.
She is a Venezuelan citizen and has every right to travel to her country whenever she wants to return.
