• María Corina Machado, opposition leader in Venezuela, continues to represent the country's democratic hope.
• Despite considering Delcy Rodríguez as a possible interlocutor to guarantee stability, such stability does not equate to democracy.
• Defending a real regime change implies rejecting any form of Chavismo and demanding a break with the repression and corruption system.
• The release of all political prisoners should be prioritized.
• Spain's attitude, despite claiming multilateralism and defence of the international order, seems inconsistent by not recognizing Machado as a key piece and maintaining a policy of acceptance with the Venezuelan regime.

Conclusion: Defending Machado means aligning with a fundamental democratic principle: legitimacy is born from the vote and not from pacts with those who have trampled on it. Therefore, she remains a symbol of hope for Venezuela.
