Claudia Macero, María Corina Machado's press chief, returns to Venezuela after exile

Claudia Macero, Vente Venezuela's communications coordinator and María Corina Machado's press chief, landed Sunday night at Simón Bolívar Airport in Maiquetía, Infobae reported. Macero had previously been sheltering at Argentina's embassy residence.

Dozens of Vente Venezuela activists welcomed her at the airport. Macero said Machado "is trying every day to return," though the process is "very difficult," according to Infobae. That same Sunday, Venezuelans mobilized in several states demanding the opposition leader's return.

Chavismo and the opposition agree on seven-jurist panel to vet new Supreme Court candidates

The government-opposition dialogue table named a seven-jurist council, announced by Jorge Rodríguez and Dinorah Figuera, to review whether candidates for the new Supreme Court meet legal requirements, according to Infobae and El Diario. The agreement also advances the unblocking of digital media outlets.

In a video posted Sunday, opposition commentator David Placeres said "Dinorah's team" — the opposition — holds a majority on that council to help decide the new court's makeup, by his own analysis.
