Venezuela opposition renews support for Maria Corina Machado as leader

Venezuela's opposition has renewed its support for Maria Corina Machado as its leader. Machado is a Nobel laureate and is currently in exile.

According to the source, Machado has petitioned for new elections to be held in Venezuela. She is also asking that the country allow her to return home.

The available text does not give further details on how the opposition expressed its support, to whom the petition was addressed, or how the authorities have responded. Those details are therefore not included here.
