Opposition leader Machado calls for 'democratic transition' in Venezuela
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado stated that Edmundo González Urrutia, who is in exile in Spain, “must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognised as commander-in-chief of the national armed forces by all its officers and soldiers."
“Today we are ready to assert our mandate and take power. Let us remain vigilant, active and organised until the democratic transition is achieved – a transition that needs all of us,” she wrote.
“To Venezuelans inside our country: be ready to carry out what we will soon communicate through our official channels.”
Machado ended her statement by declaring: “Venezuela will be free. We walk hand in hand with God, until the end,” wrote the former congresswoman, who, like other right-wing leaders in the region, frequently invokes God in her speeches and posts.
