Machado hid in Venezuela for 11 months after being briefly detained following a protest in January 2025.
Maria Corina Machado announced that she was returning to Venezuela on Sunday after almost a year of absence.
“With you,” wrote the politician to mark her return to Venezuelan territory.
The leader of the opposition did not give details on how her return to the country took place.
She left her country in December 2025 to receive the Nobel Prize, after spending almost a year in hiding.
I am extremely moved to announce to you that our leader, my dear Maria Corina, is on Venezuelan territory.
