Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado on Saturday, declared that the country had entered a decisive phase toward democratic transition, following confirmation that President Nicolás Maduro has been taken into U.S. custody to face criminal charges, Prime Business Africa reports.
In a statement addressed to Venezuelans at home and abroad, Machado said the development marked the beginning of accountability for what she described as “atrocious crimes” committed against Venezuelans and citizens of other nations.
She said the United States had acted after Maduro rejected a negotiated solution, adding that the moment had arrived for popular and national sovereignty to prevail in Venezuela.

Reaffirming the opposition’s position on the July 28 election, Machado insisted that Edmundo González Urrutia was the legitimately elected president of Venezuela and should immediately assume his constitutional mandate. She urged members of the armed forces to recognise González as commander-in-chief and align with what she described as the will of the Venezuelan people.
The opposition leader said preparations were under way to assert the electoral mandate and take control through a democratic transition, calling on citizens to remain vigilant, organised and active. She said further instructions would be communicated to Venezuelans inside the country through official opposition channels.
Machado also appealed to Venezuelans in the diaspora to mobilise international support, urging them to engage governments and civil society worldwide in what she described as the task of rebuilding a new Venezuela.
“In these decisive hours,” she said, “we all remain alert and in contact,” declaring that Venezuela would be free and framing the moment as one guided by faith and perseverance.
Her statement comes amid heightened uncertainty in Venezuela following the U.S. military operation that led to Maduro’s capture, as political actors and international stakeholders closely watch how power will transition in the country.
