I asked a friend in Venezuela about María Corina Machado. He said, "Opposition leader of what?"

Normally, the term "opposition leader" refers to the head of the largest political party in parliament that does not control the government. So how did she become "opposition leader" ? No one in the West had heard of her before she got the Nobel Peace Prize.

I'm not saying she wasn't a strong critic, and very well known, but now they're placing her as if she's backed by popular demand and that's not true.
