Claudia Macero, Vente Venezuela's communications coordinator and María Corina Machado's press chief, landed Sunday night at Simón Bolívar Airport in Maiquetía, Infobae reported. Macero had previously been sheltering at Argentina's embassy residence.

Dozens of Vente Venezuela activists welcomed her at the airport. Macero said Machado "is trying every day to return," though the process is "very difficult," according to Infobae. That same Sunday, Venezuelans mobilized in several states demanding the opposition leader's return.
