The Venezuelan opposition has formally unified behind exiled Nobel laureate María Corina Machado as its leader, consolidating strategy ahead of potential political confrontations. This move intensifies pressure on the Maduro regime to permit her return and engage in negotiations, though the regime's response and the viability of US-backed dialogue without Machado's direct involvement remain uncertain. Machado's endorsement of the Unitary Platform agreement signals a unified opposition path for reconstruction.
