María Corina Machado weighs a public return to Venezuela after new failed attempts
María Corina Machado is weighing a public return accompanied by international figures, after at least three failed attempts to fly out of Panama in 24 hours, according to El Espectador. Her team said: "She has been prevented from flying out of Panama. She remains there, unable to leave."
In the U.S. Congress, senators from both parties plan to summon State Department officials over the election calendar and Machado's return, according to David Placeres. Jorge Rodríguez, of the National Assembly, said: "Make no mistake, we are working hard toward a process of encounter."
