Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado stated that a crucial change for Venezuela is approaching and guaranteed a "peaceful transition," as tensions rise over the arrival of the largest US aircraft carrier in the Caribbean.

"I ask you to join us in this historic moment, in your “These are decisive hours, because what is happening in Venezuela is not just a national event, it is a turning point “For all of Latin America,” she said virtually at a forum of Ibero-American former presidents of the IDEA Group at Miami-Dade College (MDC).

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner did not specifically refer to the US military deployment in the Caribbean, where the USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest US aircraft carrier, and its strike group of more than 4,000 sailors and dozens of tactical aircraft arrived this Tuesday.

The Maduro regime “is capable of doing a lot of damage”

“Today Venezuela is on the threshold of freedom” and “an unprecedented transformation,” said Machado, who last week said that US President Donald Trump’s strategy against Nicolas Maduro was “absolutely correct.”

The Caribbean country “will cease to be the focus of evil, of crime and the destabilization of the hemisphere,” he maintained. "A regime that has stolen, looted, corrupted, and oppressed like this one (...) when it inevitably finds itself outside is capable of doing a lot of damage," he added. "Our children are going to return home, bringing with them knowledge, investments, and contacts. We will make Venezuela the Latin American miracle of the 21st century," he pointed out. His statements come after Maduro accused the "battered right wing" of "nurturing the threats of the imperialist beast to the north," while US attacks on nearly 20 alleged "narco-boats" in the Caribbean and the Pacific have resulted in some 76 deaths since September 1.
