CARACAS, Venezuela (AFP)—Hundreds of protesters demanded the return of exiled opposition figure and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado to Venezuela, AFP observed at a demonstration in Caracas on Thursday.

“Maria Corina, come, we’re waiting for you!” the crowd chanted, marching under an enormous Venezuelan flag.

Machado was blocked from entering the country on Tuesday after yet another attempt to return home, sources from her political party told AFP.
