Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado warned that the country's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, is "even more ruthless" than the ousted leader Nicolás Maduro, accusing her of playing a central role in repression, torture and corruption during the previous government.
In an interview airing Tuesday on CBS Evening News, Machado said Rodríguez was "one of the main architects" of Maduro's system of oppression. "Everybody in Venezuela and abroad knows perfectly who she is and the role she has played," Machado said, rejecting arguments that Rodríguez could credibly oversee a transition.
