Machado's communications chief returns to Venezuela and revives the pressure for the return of the opposition leader
Claudia Macero, the head of communications of opposition leader María Corina Machado, returned to Venezuela after spending two years outside the country, including a period of asylum at the Argentine Embassy in Caracas. His return, which he presented as a personal decision to "give confidence to others," occurred as Machado's followers mobilized in several cities to demand the leader's safe return, presidential elections and the release of political prisoners.
