Ayuso celebrates Maduro's downfall and the "return of democracy to Venezuela with María Corina Machado."

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, celebrated this Saturday what she described as the "fall of Nicolás Maduro's regime" following the American attacks in Venezuela and the capture of the Chavista leader, confirmed by President Donald Trump.

In a message shared on the social media platform X, the community leader described the events as "one of the most important news stories in recent times."

Maduro is a dictator who has hijacked the polls and his people: murders, torture, famine, and the exodus of millions of Venezuelans,” Ayuso wrote. “The fall of the regime and the return of democracy to Venezuela with the Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado is one of the most important pieces of news in recent times,” he added.

With these statements, the president of Madrid went further than the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who merely expressed his support for the "democratic transition" in the Caribbean nation.

Ayuso highlighted Machado as a key figure in the new political era. Her message adds to the numerous international reactions generated by the U.S. military operation in Venezuela, in which the U.S. Army reportedly captured Maduro and the First Lady, Cilia Flores.

While in Spain some political sectors and Venezuelan exiles have celebrated the fall of the Chavista regime, in Caracas the Venezuelan government still has not confirmed the whereabouts of the president and maintains a stance of resistance against what it labels as “an unprecedented imperialist aggression.”
