Venezuelan opposition leaders returning from exile

Overview

Opposition figures have begun returning to Venezuela following a period of political transition.

On August 28, 2026, Omar González returned to the country after more than a year in exile. González, a collaborator of María Corina Machado, arrived at the José Antonio Anzoátegui International Airport. He was part of a group that escaped via ‘Operación Guacamaya’ in May 2025 after seeking refuge in the Argentine Embassy. González stated his return aims to support the democratic struggle and ‘pave the way’ for Machado’s eventual return.

Following this, on September 8, 2026, former National Assembly deputy Armando Armas returned to Venezuela after six years in exile. Armas, a member of Voluntad Popular, appeared in Anzoátegui state. He noted that his return occurs within a landscape of dialogue between the government and opposition following the departure of Nicolás Maduro from power earlier in the year.
