这些指控引发了人们对导致马查多多年无法参选的司法裁决来源的新质疑。马查多长期认为阻止她参加过去选举的禁令是出于政治动机。委内瑞拉政府尚未就这些指控发表官方回应。
The allegations raise fresh questions about the origins of the judicial rulings that have kept Machado out of office for years. Machado has long argued that the bans blocking her candidacy in past elections were politically motivated. The Venezuelan government has not yet issued an official response to the allegations.
