Since the US military’s capture of Nicolas Maduro and his wife to face charges in New York, Donald Trump has backed vice president Delcy Rodriguez to lead the country.
Venezuela’s opposition leader said she is «confident» Nicolas Maduro’s «criminal» regime will be dismantled and free elections will be held.
Speaking in the US on Friday, a day after giving her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump, Maria Corina Machado told reporters «I am profoundly, profoundly confident that we will have an orderly transition» to elections.
«Venezuela is going to be free», she said at the Heritage Foundation, before adding that it would take time.
She then said that she felt a «criminal structure» had dominated Venezuela for years and that it would eventually dismantle itself.
Since the US military’s capture of Maduro and his wife to face charges in New York on 3 January, Mr Trump has backed current vice president Delcy Rodriguez to lead the country.
