maria corina machado
María Corina Machado Parisca (born 7 October 1967) is a Venezuelan opposition politician and industrial engineer who served as an elected member of the National Assembly of Venezuela from 2011 to 2014. Machado was the founder and former leader of the Venezuelan volunteer civil organization Súmate, alongside Alejandro Plaz. In 2018, she was listed as one of BBC's 100 Women.
She entered politics in 2002, founding the voter rights group Súmate and leading a failed effort to recall Hugo Chávez during which time Chávez was facilitating democratic backsliding in Venezuela. The authoritarian Venezuela government has banned Machado from leaving Venezuela.
Machado was a candidate in the 2012 Venezuelan presidential election but lost the opposition primary to Henrique Capriles. During the 2014 Venezuelan protests, Machado was one of the lead figures in organizing protests against the government of Nicolás Maduro. In 2019, amid the Venezuelan presidential crisis, she announced that she would launch a second presidential run if disputed interim President Juan Guaidó successfully called for an election; Guaidó was ultimately unsuccessful in his efforts.
She was a precandidate for Vente Venezuela in the primary elections of the Unitary Platform of 2023, although on 30 June 2023 she was disqualified for fifteen years by the Comptroller General of Venezuela. Her disqualification was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela in January 2024. After winning the primary elections, Machado was declared the opposition candidate for the 2024 presidential elections, though she was replaced by Corina Yoris on 22 March 2024. Yoris was prevented from registering as a candidate and was temporarily replaced by Edmundo González Urrutia.
