María Corina Machado, one of Venezuela's top opposition leaders, demanded the Maduro government engage in negotiations aimed at an orderly transition should they be defeated in the upcoming presidential elections, a scenario that polls are currently predicting.
Machado said the president does not have the trust of the Venezuelan people and is resorting to fear and repression to have them fall in line. However, she added, this won't deter voters from rejecting Maduro at the polls and remove Chavismo from power after more than 20 years.
