Claudia Macero returns to Venezuela after year in exile

Claudia Macero, the communications chief for the Vente Venezuela party and a close associate of opposition leader María Corina Machado, returned to Venezuela on Sunday night, September 27. She arrived at Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía after more than a year in exile. Macero had previously sought refuge in the Argentine Embassy in Caracas before being relocated to the United States in a coordinated operation in May 2025.

Her return coincides with nationwide demonstrations organized by Vente Venezuela supporters. In cities including Caracas, Valencia, Maracaibo, and Mérida, activists held vehicle and motorcycle caravans to demand a safe return for Machado and the establishment of a clear electoral calendar for presidential elections. Supporters expressed hope that these actions would facilitate a democratic transition.

Macero stated that her decision to return was personal and intended to build confidence among citizens and pave the way for other exiled leaders. While she remains uncertain about the exact timing of Machado's return, she emphasized the urgent need for transparent elections and the release of political prisoners.
