Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado stated Wednesday that she perceives "decisive hours" for Venezuela, while also guaranteeing a "peaceful transition" as tensions rise over the arrival of the largest US aircraft carrier in the Caribbean. EFE "(I ask) you to join us in this historic moment, in these decisive hours, because what is happening in Venezuela is not just a national event, it is a turning point for all of Latin America," Machado said virtually at a forum of Ibero-American former presidents of the IDEA Group at Miami-Dade College (MDC). #mariacorinamachado,#derechoshumanos #libertad #estadosunidos

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado told Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa this Tuesday that December 10—the date scheduled for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, which she is set to receive—will be “a historic day for democracy” in Latin America and the Caribbean. Via the social media platform X, Machado also stated that she hopes to reaffirm “the brotherhood between the peoples of Ecuador and Venezuela” with Noboa on that day. “On behalf of Venezuelans, I thank you for this heartfelt tribute in recognition of the heroic struggle of our brave people,” said Machado in response to a post by the Ecuadorian president, in which he confirmed accepting the “personal invitation” she extended to accompany her at the Nobel ceremony. In his message, Noboa predicted that December 10 would be an “important” day for the Americas, adding, “It will be an honor to stand beside the laureate in Norway.” “Your fight represents the courage of an entire region that refuses to surrender, that refuses to go backward. See you there, as from the beginning: on the same side of history,” the president added. Machado was awarded the prize “for her tireless work in promoting democratic rights for the Venezuelan people and her efforts to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,” according to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo. Last October, the former congresswoman stated that she would only be able to travel to Oslo in December to receive the Nobel Prize if Nicolás Maduro is no longer in power. She made this clear in an interview with the Norwegian newspaper _Dagens Naeringsliv_, cited by the Norwegian news agency NTB, emphasizing that for her to travel to the Nordic capital, “Venezuela must be free.” “As long as Maduro remains in power, I cannot leave the place where I’m hiding because there are direct threats against my life,” Machado told the Norwegian outlet. Since 2024, Machado has claimed that opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia—currently in exile in Spain—was the true winner of the July 28 presidential election. According to her and the main opposition coalition, Democratic Unitary Platform, González Urrutia won the contest, despite the electoral authority—controlled by pro-government officials—declaring Maduro re-elected. He was sworn in last January for a third co six-year term.

El portaaviones USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) opera ahora en el Comando Sur de EE. UU., según ha adelantado la agencia Reuter. El Gerald R. Ford, el Ala Aérea Embarcada 8 y sus escoltas recibieron la orden el 24 de octubre de transitar desde el mar Mediterráneo para apoyar el creciente despliegue naval en el Comando Sur. El portaaviones cruzó el estrecho de Gibraltar el 4 de noviembre y, junto con sus escoltas, permaneció frente a la costa occidental de África, justo fuera del límite del comando de combate que comienza a pocos kilómetros al oeste de Cabo Verde, frente a la costa de Senegal y al sur del Trópico de Cáncer. Observadores navales detectaron al USS Bainbridge (DDG-96), escolta del Ford, frente a la costa de Puerto Rico la madrugada del martes. El Bainbridge navegó con el Ford a través de Gibraltar. El Ford llega al Comando Sur (SOUTHCOM) en medio de una campaña estadounidense de ataques contra presuntos narcotraficantes en el Caribe y el Pacífico Oriental. Hasta la mañana del martes, el Pentágono había anunciado 19 ataques que causaron la muerte de 76 personas, quienes, según las autoridades, forman parte de organizaciones criminales transnacionales.
