Mexico City, Sept 28. (dpa/GNA) – Supporters of Venezuelan opposition leader, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machadom rallied across the country on Sunday, demanding her safe return and free elections.
Demonstrators carrying Venezuelan flags, rode in motorcycle convoys through the streets of several cities, videos showed.
Machado has been unable to return to Venezuela since travelling to Oslo in December to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
The opposition politician, who is currently in Panama, has so far made seven unsuccessful attempts to return, according to media reports.
Supporters of the opposition parties Vente Venezuela and Primero Justicia, were among those taking part in the demonstrations.
Protesters called for a clear timetable for presidential elections in 2027, and chanted slogans including “Freedom, freedom!”
A few weeks after Machado secretly left Venezuela, US forces captured authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro during a military operation in Caracas in January. Since then, the country has been led by acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who has worked closely with Washington. Rodríguez served as Maduro’s vice president.
