Venezuelan opposition denounces paramilitary attack on Corina Machado’s office

The Venezuelan coalition opposing the government of Nicolás Maduro denounced this Friday (2) an alleged attack on the office of María Corina Machado, the group’s main leader and guarantor of Edmundo González’s candidacy for the country’s presidency.

In a post on X, Corina Machado’s team showed the damage left in the campaign office. Graffiti and documents were turned over in the place. “Paramilitary attack! They got it wrong again. The heart of our fight is in millions of homes,” wrote the campaign.

Paramilitary assault! If they make a mistake again, the heart of our fight is in millions of homes. As he did with Venezuela, they devalued and destroyed everything.

You won’t find the minutes. These are in the digital cloud and seen by millions of people. https://t.co/7EaOFIqz7p

Since the beginning of the week, María Corina Machado has decided to limit her public appearances in the face of the persecution initiated by the Venezuelan Government after the controversial results of Sunday’s (28) presidential elections, she confirmed to CNN a source from the campaign team of the former deputy and founder of the Vente Venezuela movement.

Machado has been banned from leaving Venezuela since January 2014, following violent protests that erupted that year in Caracas and other cities in the country known as “La Salida.”

The alleged siege on Machado intensified after on Tuesday the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, called for the arrest of Machado and Edmundo González, whom he described as “leaders of a fascist conspiracy that they are trying to impose in Venezuela.”
