The group was under diplomatic protection at the Argentine headquarters since March 20, 2024, when they sought refuge in the face of threats and persecutions of the regime.
To date, there was no official confirmation of the Machado team or the Argentine Foreign Ministry about the outcome of the case.
It is a fact of high political impact for the region, especially for the government of Javier Milei, which had ratified the validity of the asylum repeatedly and claimed guarantees to the Venezuelan regime.
