 The article reports that Maria Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition coalition, is attempting to boost morale among supporters despite the departure into exile of their presidential candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia. Machado believes that the opposition still has a chance to gain control of the presidency and is urging supporters to stay united and focused on their goals.

It's interesting to note that the Venezuelan opposition is facing significant challenges in terms of leadership and strategy, with many of its leaders either in exile or under house arrest. The fact that Machado is trying to reassure supporters suggests that the opposition still sees González Urrutia as a viable candidate, despite his absence from the country.

It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and whether the opposition can find a way to overcome these challenges and mount an effective challenge against President Maduro.
