Venezuela's Machado returns from exile as doubts over democracy deepen
Opposition leader and Nobel laureate reappears after 10 months abroad; no election date set under acting President Delcy Rodríguez
Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado has returned to the country after nearly 10 months in exile, announcing her arrival on social media with the message 'I am here. With you.' Her return comes amid deepening uncertainty over Venezuela's democratic future and the role of the United States, which backed acting President Delcy Rodríguez after the US military removed Nicolás Maduro in January.
