"This goes beyond the elections. This is an existential, even spiritual fight." That is how Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado described the current electoral campaign ahead of the July presidential elections in an event organized by the Americas Council this week.
Machado, who won a broad primary last year but was banned from competing in the elections by the Maduro government, is actively campaigning on behalf of Edmundo González Urrutia, around whom the opposition coalesced last month.
