Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Yván Gil shared an audio in which the opposition leader MarĂa Corina Machado calls for the total financial suffocation of Venezuela.
In the audio spread on social media this Sunday, April 7, Machado asks for extreme measures to cause “the breakdown and departure” of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
“They talked about how they were looking to collaborate. Yes, they can collaborate by increasing pressure until they cause the breakdown and Maduro’s departure with more sanctions,” she said in the leaked audio.
According to the far-right opposition politician, the sanctions are working. This is why she calls for total financial suffocation of her own country.

Given the revelation of MarĂa Corina’s request, Foreign Minister Gil said that the opposition’s actions demonstrate her United States-backed fascist plan aimed at suffocating the Venezuelan people.
Gil said that Machado’s motto, “Until the end,” seeks to suffocate the Venezuelan people through perverse blockades, sanctions, and destabilization.
“The revelation of this audio shows this lady’s genocidal fantasy to satisfy her desire for power and be the new puppet of her Yankee masters,” condemned Minister Gil.
On repeated occasions, Machado has dedicated herself to threatening Venezuela and the government to “hand over power,” although she is politically disqualified for exercising and promoting actions against the country.

Last March, Machado, the leader of Vente Venezuela, threatened the national government with “facing the consequences” if they did not give up power.
For MarĂa Corina Machado, the national government “must” facilitate a negotiated transition through free presidential elections within the framework of the Barbados Agreement or seize power through force.
“They have two options: proceed with a negotiated transition through free elections within the framework of the Barbados Agreement or decide to snatch it the hard way. The latter is the worst option because it would not circumvent the transition,” Machado said in one of many public rants.
