Venezuelan opposition leader Humberto Villalobos reported that security forces loyal to President Nicolás Maduro raided his residence in Caracas. Villalobos is one of four opposition figures who had been asylum seekers at the Argentine Embassy since March 2024. María Corina Machado, a prominent opposition leader, stated that the recent departure of asylum seekers highlights vulnerabilities within Maduro's regime and affirmed that Maduro is weaker than ever amid internal fractures. Machado also expressed gratitude to U.S.

President Donald Trump and his administration for their role in the operation at the Argentine Embassy, suggesting that Maduro's regime is losing its last lines of support. Machado and other opposition voices have called for freedom for political prisoners, with over 900 mothers demanding the release of their incarcerated children. The opposition has framed the potential removal of Maduro as an opportunity for the continent to be free of communism, with Machado describing a $1.7 trillion business opportunity for the United States once Maduro is ousted. Meanwhile, relatives of Venezuelan political prisoners have protested in Spain, urging international pressure for their release. Former U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright criticized the Maduro regime and supported efforts to force change in Venezuela. The opposition's narrative emphasizes a broader regional shift away from authoritarian regimes supported by Cuba and Nicaragua.
