Five members of Venezuela's political opposition, identified as Pedro Urruchurtu, Humberto Villalobos, Claudia Macero, Omar González, and Magalí Meda, who had been sheltered in the Argentine Embassy in Caracas since March 2024, have left the country and arrived safely in the United States, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The group, part of opposition leader María Corina Machado's team, had sought refuge in the embassy to avoid arrest by the Venezuelan government.
The operation to rescue these individuals was described as precise and epic by Rubio, who welcomed the successful extraction of the 'hostages' held by the Maduro regime. María Corina Machado celebrated the operation, calling it 'impeccable and epic' for the freedom of five Venezuelan heroes. She expressed her gratitude to all involved and vowed to continue the fight for the liberation of 900 heroes and 30 million Venezuelans.
