Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has expressed support for citizens affected by a recent earthquake. The quake impacted several Venezuelan states including Caracas, Vargas, Aragua, Carabobo, Yaracuy, and Lara, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes due to collapses and structural damage. Machado conveyed her solidarity, faith, and prayers to those displaced via a post on X (formerly Twitter). A prominent figure opposing the Nicolás Maduro government, Machado was arrested earlier this year by U.S. authorities. Her message comes amidst ongoing political tensions within the country. The extent of the damage and casualties is currently being assessed, but the earthquake has clearly created a humanitarian situation for many Venezuelans. Machado’s statement highlights the widespread impact of the natural disaster across multiple regions.
