00:00
This was the moment one of Venezuela's leading opposition figures appeared in public for
00:06
the first time since July.
00:08
Not long after, Maria Corina Machado was briefly detained.
00:12
She had vowed to lead protests against the swearing-in of Nicolas Maduro, appearing alongside
00:18
thousands of opposition protesters in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas.
00:23
Whatever they do tomorrow, it will seal the fate of the regime.
00:33
The opposition says that Edmundo Gonzalez is the real winner of last year's presidential
00:38
election.
00:42
The crowds gathered here say that Nicolas Maduro, said to be sworn in for a third six-year
00:47
term on Friday, stole the vote.
00:51
We are here to claim the elections in which each one of us participated.
00:58
With the help of God, we will remove Maduro because Maduro's government can no longer
01:04
continue.
01:06
Edmundo Gonzalez has been living in exile since September last year.
01:11
Last week, Nicolas Maduro's government warned that he'd be arrested if he entered the country
01:15
and even put a $100,000 bounty on his head.
01:19
Gonzalez has insisted he'll return to Venezuela soon.
01:25
The regime of Nicolas Maduro refuses to accept the defeat of July 28th.
01:32
It's clear that his regime represents a threat to the hemisphere.
01:40
For the past week, Gonzalez has been touring Latin American capitals to put pressure on
01:44
Nicolas Maduro to quit power.
01:47
He also met with outgoing US President Joe Biden in Washington.
01:51
Gonzalez is backed by communities of Venezuelans living abroad, like here in Madrid, where
01:57
protesters said he was Venezuela's rightful president.
