Venezuelan Opposition Leader Briefly Detained Amid Tensions With Government

ai generated text

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was briefly detained after leading a protest against President Nicolas Maduro's inauguration. Initial reports of her detention were denied by authorities, but a proof-of-life video surfaced in which Machado claimed she was followed after the rally. Her team reported she was "violently intercepted" by security agents, with some accounts describing the incident as a "kidnapping" involving forced video recordings. Venezuela's interior minister accused her of fabricating the story. Machado has since been released and is expected to address the nation, as the incident fuels controversy with the opposition accusing the government of harassment.
