Machado expressed concern regarding an agreement that will allow the United States to control over 20% of Venezuela's oil reserves. According to the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner, the "enemies of the U.S." are currently in Miraflores, referring to the seat of the Venezuelan government.

In her statement, Machado demanded an electoral calendar that coincides with the proposed economic reforms. This position reflects a growing tension regarding the role of the U.S. in the Venezuelan economy and its political influence in the region.

Machado's stance comes amid ongoing criticism of the relationship between the United States and Venezuela from various sectors and political figures, both within and outside the country. These relations are marked by a complex history of sanctions and interventions.

In addition to the demands for elections, Machado also highlighted the implications of the oil agreement, which could affect national sovereignty and the management of Venezuela's natural resources. Her intervention underscores the need for careful public debate on these developments.
