In a recent video message, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado urged supporters to take to the streets across the country to demand the resignation of President Nicolás Maduro. Machado emphasized that Maduro will not voluntarily step down and that the people must exert pressure to force him out of power.
Machado instructed supporters to gather for demonstrations on Thursday, the day before Maduro's next presidential term is scheduled to begin. This call to action came shortly after the government reiterated its intention to arrest retired diplomat Edmundo González, who claims to have won against Maduro in the previous year's election.
