María Corina Machado wants struggle against Maduro’s ‘criminal tyranny’ to be taken up by governments and individuals
María Corina Machado says she will not go into exile despite Nicolás Maduro’s crackdown on his opponents and critics.María Corina Machado says she will not go into exile despite Nicolás Maduro’s crackdown on his opponents and critics.The Venezuelan opposition leader, María Corina Machado, has called for a global movement, similar to the international campaign against apartheid in South Africa, to help rescue her country from Nicolás Maduro’s “criminal tyranny”.
The worldwide anti-apartheid campaign did not in itself bring about South Africa’s transition to democracy but global pressure and the economic, academic and cultural boycott movement is understood to have played an important role in freeing the country from white minority rule in the early 1990s. That move was met with “deep concern” by the leftwing governments of Brazil and Colombia whose presidents have been trying to promote dialogue towards a peaceful solution. The UK’s minister for Latin America and the Caribbean, Jenny Chapman, called the warrant “unacceptable and politically motivated”.
However, Machado said there was still life in the opposition’s attempt to negotiate a peaceful and orderly transition towards a new government led by González.
