Ex mandatarios iberoamericanos alertaron sobre los riesgos para María Corina Machado y exigieron garantías a su integridad

La Iniciativa Democrática de España y las Américas (Grupo IDEA), compuesta por treinta ex jefes de Estado y de Gobierno, advirtió este lunes sobre las amenazas contra la vida y la integridad física de María Corina Machado, líder opositora de Venezuela. El pronunciamiento atribuye tales riesgos a expresiones provenientes de la dictadura de Nicolás Maduro y sostiene que esas manifestaciones constituyen apología del crimen, antecedente de episodios violentos en la historia política regional.
La declaración, firmada por personalidades políticas de América Latina y España, solicita la intervención de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) y de los gobiernos de Brasil y Colombia para proteger a Machado.
“Adquiere gravedad dicha amenaza, pues también es cierto que se hace repetitiva en la región la apelación al asesinato de los líderes políticos más importantes, cuyos mensajes hablan del rescate de las libertades y del castigo de quienes usan a la política para coludir con las formas de criminalidad organizada, en lo particular la del narcotráfico”, advierte el texto.
Los firmantes señalaron que las amenazas contra Machado forman parte de un patrón que ya ha sido documentado por Naciones Unidas y la Corte Penal Internacional, relativos a violaciones de derechos humanos en Venezuela. El documento subraya casos recientes de asesinatos de figuras políticas como el candidato colombiano Miguel Uribe Turbay, el periodista y político ecuatoriano Fernando Villavicencio, y el oficial venezolano Ronald Ojeda, disidente refugiado en Chile.
Entre los ex presidentes que apoyaron la declaración se encuentran Mauricio Macri de Argentina; Carlos Mesa y Jorge Tuto Quiroga de Bolivia; Eduardo Frei de Chile; Iván Duque, Andrés Pastrana y Álvaro Uribe de Colombia; así como ex mandatarios de Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, España, México, Panamá, Paraguay, República Dominicana y Uruguay. El comunicado hace énfasis en la continuidad de discursos hostiles y el riesgo de que se traduzcan en agresiones físicas.
El Grupo IDEA remarcó la necesidad de romper con la dinámica de violencia y persecución hacia opositores. Alertaron que la presencia de amenazas y de discursos intimidantes desde el poder propicia escenarios donde el hostigamiento puede desembocar en hechos luctuosos. “Las advertencias contra Machado se inscriben en un patrón documentado por Naciones Unidas y la Corte Penal Internacional sobre violaciones a los derechos humanos en Venezuela”, aseguraron.
Frente a este contexto, María Corina Machado expresó públicamente su reconocimiento por la solidaridad internacional.
“Mi agradecimiento profundo al Grupo Idea y a cada uno de los 30 ex presidentes que suscriben esta declaración, grandes amigos de la causa por la democracia y la Libertad de Venezuela”, señaló desde su cuenta en la red social X.
“Al régimen de Maduro lo único que le queda es el terror, la represión y la mentira. Creyeron que con ello iban a frenar a un pueblo que decidió ser libre. Resulta que ahora el miedo se instaló entre ellos y hagan lo que hagan, no hay vuelta atrás”, agregó.

Machado insistió en su confianza en un cambio político futuro: “Venezuela será libre. Habrá justicia, dignidad y prosperidad para todos los ciudadanos”. También mencionó la invitación a los ex presidentes firmantes, junto a Edmundo González Urrutia, a visitar Venezuela.
“Para Edmundo González Urrutia y para mí será un honor recibirlos en Venezuela, queridos presidentes”, dijo Machado.
El documento del Grupo IDEA convoca a liderazgos regionales y organismos multilaterales a asumir acciones concretas en defensa de los derechos humanos y de la oposición venezolana, con énfasis en la urgencia de medidas de protección y seguimiento internacional.
Las preocupaciones planteadas por los ex jefes de Estado se inscriben en un contexto latinoamericano marcado por ataques a figuras opositoras y por la preocupación creciente sobre el respeto a los derechos fundamentales y la seguridad de quienes desafían al poder.

Trump suggests DOJ owes him money for past cases

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) owes him money for past prosecutions against him.
In the Oval Office, a reporter asked Trump if he was seeking compensation from the DOJ over past federal investigations into him and, if so, how much he was seeking.
«Well, I guess they probably owe me a lot of money for that,» Trump said in response. «No, I get no salary. I gave up my salary. It’s a good salary. Not as much as these guys make, but that’s OK. It’s a lot of money, and I don’t, as you know, I didn’t take it in the first four years. I didn’t take it these four years either.»
«But as far as all of the litigation, everything that’s been involved, yeah, they probably owe me a lot of money,» the president added. «But if I get money from our country, I’ll do something nice with it. Like, give it to charity or give it to the White House while we restore the White House, and we’re doing a great job with the White House, as you know, the ballroom is under construction.»

The New York Times reported sources as saying Trump is seeking approximately $230 million in compensation from the Justice Department for investigations into him.
Trump told reporters Tuesday that he was «not looking for money,» but that they «would have to ask the lawyers about that.»
«We’ll see what happens,» Trump said. «We have numerous cases having to do with the fraud of the election, the 2020 election, and because of everything that we found out, I guess they owe me a lot of money. But I’m not looking for money. I’m looking for — really, I think it’s got to be, it’s got to be handled in a proper way… We don’t want it to happen again. We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can’t let that happen.»
He was later pressed again about the exact dollar amount in the request and said, «I don’t know what the number is. I don’t even talk to them about it.»
Trump then remarked that the decision would have to come across his desk, saying that it would be «awfully strange to make a decision where I’m paying myself.»

However, the Times noted that the DOJ’s rules state that settlement claims against the department that exceed $4 million «must be approved by the Deputy Attorney General, or Associate Attorney General, as appropriate.»
It is unclear where the claims or negotiations with the DOJ stand. However, The Associated Press noted that the ties between Trump and those authorized to make a decision on the settlement could present problems.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche served as one of Trump’s attorneys in the Mar-a-Lago case. Additionally, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward represented Trump’s co-defendant, Walt Nauta, in the Mar-a-Lago case.
«In any circumstance, all officials at the Department of Justice follow the guidance of career ethics officials,» DOJ spokesperson Chad Gilmartin said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The investigations include the FBI’s 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago as part of the classified documents case and another probe looking into possible ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. According to the Times, the first claim was filed in late 2023 and was in relation to the Russia probe, while the second — which focused on the Mar-a-Lago raid — was filed in the summer of 2024.
The Times reported Tuesday that Trump had submitted complaints through an administrative claim process, noting that it is something that often precedes lawsuits.

Despite the president saying that he would donate the funds, some Democrats painted the report as an example of Trump trying to enrich himself.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said on Wednesday morning that the president was looking «to line his own pockets, or he says now to give to a charity of his choice.» The senator added to the accusation, saying Trump was «focusing on getting $230 million that he doesn’t deserve back into his pocket instead of helping the American people get healthcare.»

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., who was in the middle of an hours-long speech, slammed Trump for «suing the government, then instructing his Department of Justice to settle the suit, thereby translating money into the president’s pocket out of the government.»
Merkley then remarked that «there is no limit to the self-serving» and called for his colleagues, particularly Republicans, to speak out against the president.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.
