A rally held in Madrid in support of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has generated debate on social media after several videos were released in which some attendees can be heard chanting “get out the monkey” in reference to Delcy Rodríguez, a prominent figure in the Venezuelan government.
The images began to circulate during the last few hours on platforms such as X, where they have provoked mixed reactions. Some users have criticized the tone of the chants and their political charge, while others have supported them as a show of rejection of Chavismo.
ATTENTION | From Madrid, what all Venezuelans want is heard loud and clear:

Machado's Visit to Spain
The concentration coincided with the presence of Machado in Spain, where he has participated in various public events and political meetings during his visit to the capital.
The opposition leader has consolidated herself as one of the main critical voices against the Venezuelan Government and maintains an international agenda aimed at gathering support and denouncing the political situation in the country.
His tour of Europe has included institutional meetings and events with Venezuelan diaspora groups.
New political clash on social media
The dissemination of the videos has reactivated the political confrontation between supporters of Chavismo and sectors linked to the Venezuelan opposition, both inside and outside the country.
The episode once again reflects how Venezuelan political polarization also extends to international scenarios, especially in cities with a strong Venezuelan emigration presence such as Madrid.
For the moment, neither the environment of María Corina Machado nor representatives of Delcy Rodríguez have officially commented on the chants recorded during the event.
