Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado announced through social media posts on Sunday that she intends to head back to her homeland within the next few weeks.
The 58-year-old industrial engineer departed Venezuela in December to travel to Oslo where she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize. She is presently staying in the United States.
Questions about when Machado might return have intensified following the January 3 capture of former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro by U.S. authorities.
Venezuelan officials are currently investigating Machado, and Interim President Delcy Rodriguez has stated that she must “answer to Venezuela” regarding her backing of U.S. military intervention against Caracas.
