Maria Corina Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a leading figure in the Venezuelan opposition, made her decision public on Sunday. She has been a vocal critic of the current government.
The upcoming talks, which are set for August, aim to address the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela. However, Machado's refusal to participate highlights the divisions within the opposition.
Machado's stance reflects her concerns about the legitimacy of the negotiations and the government's commitment to genuine dialogue.
