Venezuelan pro-democracy leader Maria Corina Machado said that she expects people to take to the streets for her country’s upcoming presidential inauguration next week, when Nicolás Maduro is expected to be sworn in following an election marred by repression and fraud.
“The only thing Maduro has left is repression. Well, we need to break repression,” she told National Review yesterday via a video conferencing platform from an undisclosed location in Venezuela as she hides from Maduro’s government. She said that her movement needs to persuade “those that are today being forced to repress and attack innocent people, unarmed people in the streets, to stop doing that.”
