Venezuela's Opposition leader Machado returns after months in exile, as doubts over democracy deepen

Venezuela's opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, has returned to the country after months in exile. Her return comes as doubts about the country's democracy continue to grow. This is because the acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, has remained in office beyond her initial 90-day term, without calling an election to determine a new leader. This situation raises concerns about the legitimacy of the government and the rule of law in Venezuela, which could have implications for the country's economy and stability.

Why it matters

Venezuela's political instability is increasing, which could lead to economic uncertainty. The opposition leader's return may lead to further unrest and challenges to the current government.
