The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has assured this Wednesday that she does not contemplate holding a meeting with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, during the trip she will make to Spain this weekend. Instead, a meeting with the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, does appear on her agenda, and she is also expected to meet with Santiago Abascal, from Vox.

In statements to "Cadena Cope", Machado has stressed that "the superior objective" is the freedom of Venezuela and that, in this context, "what is convenient for the purposes" is "to accelerate a transition and the return of Venezuelans to freedom".

The opposition member has remarked that "and at certain times it is convenient and at others certain meetings are not convenient for such an objective and, therefore, at this moment that meeting is not planned", thus ruling out a meeting with Sánchez during her stay in Spanish territory.
