Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said Monday she plans to return home “as soon as possible,” and slammed the interim president in Caracas. In her first public comments since a social media post over the weekend, when the US military forcibly removed president Nicolas Maduro from power, the Nobel Peace Prize winner vowed to return to her country. “I’m planning to go back to Venezuela as soon as possible,” Machado told broadcaster Sean Hannity on Fox News, speaking from an undisclosed location. Machado said Rodriguez is “rejected” by the Venezuelan people, and voters were on the opposition’s side. “In free and fair elections, we will win by over 90 percent of the votes, I have no doubt about it,” Machado said.
