Venezuelan opposition alliance confirms exiled Nobel laureate Machadová as leader

The Venezuelan opposition alliance has formally confirmed María Corina Machadová as its leader, who has been in exile since 2025 after secretly leaving the country to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. This consolidates her leadership from abroad, potentially reshaping opposition strategy ahead of future political contests. The move signals continued opposition cohesion despite her exile, but its immediate impact on Venezuela's political landscape remains uncertain.
