Rubio warns Venezuela's Machado: Street protests won't get you democracy

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio cautioned Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado against expecting democracy through street protests, emphasizing that peaceful transition requires more than just demonstrations. This warning comes amid Machado's return to Caracas and her push for early elections, which Rubio fears could disrupt the country's delicate democratic progress supported by the Trump administration. The stakes are high as Machado's actions could impact U.S. foreign policy in the region, underscoring the complexity of achieving stable governance through contentious measures.
