Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has returned to the country nearly a year after her daring escape.
The issue of Machado's return has strained her relationship with the US, which she has sought to cultivate as an ally since before it removed President Nicolas Maduro from power.
The Nobel laureate's homecoming follows national protests demanding free elections.
María Corina Machado's return to Venezuela could reshape opposition dynamics as Edmundo González vows to join her and push for democratic elections.
Machado covertly snuck out of the South American country in December with a private U.S. rescue team to accept the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize in Norway.
After nearly 10 months in exile, Ms. Machado, a Nobel laureate, came back to challenge leaders who have sidelined her and press for new elections.
Machado had left the country just a month before the US government seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
