Venezuelan opposition leader Machado vows to return home ‘as soon as possible’
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said Monday she plans to return home “as soon as possible,” in an interview with broadcaster Sean Hannity on Fox News, speaking from an undisclosed location.
Opposition leader Machado says Venezuela will become ‘energy hub of the Americas’
Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said Monday that “a free Venezuela,” with its largest oil reserves in the world, will become the “energy hub” of North and South America.
“We will turn Venezuela into the energy hub of the Americas,” Machado told broadcaster Sean Hannity on Fox News.
Machado said Rodriguez is “rejected” by the Venezuelan people, and voters were on the opposition’s side.
“In free and fair elections, we will win by over 90 percent of the votes, I have no doubt about it,” Machado said.
Machado also vowed to “turn Venezuela into the energy hub of the Americas” and “dismantle all these criminal structures” that have harmed her countrymen, promising to “bring millions of Venezuelans that have been forced to flee our country back home.”
