Top Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was abducted by forces answering to the Maduro regime on Thursday, officials denounced.
The incident took place after a large rally led by Machado on the day before both the opposition and the regime intend to assume the presidency. Machado had been in hiding for months since a detention warrant was issued against her after the contested July 28 election in which the Maduro regime claimed to have won but failed to provide supporting documentation.
