Opposition leader María Corina Machado returned to Venezuela on October 25 after nearly ten months in exile. Her arrival near Barquisimeto, symbolized by the statue of Divina Pastora, surprised many, including the ruling regime. She had previously left secretly to accept the Nobel Peace Prize and faced multiple thwarted return attempts. Reports suggest she crossed from Colombia, possibly with U.S. assistance, aiming to accelerate Venezuela's democratic restoration.
