One week before the presidential elections, Nicolás Maduro responded to opposition leader María Corina Machado that he will not allow to destroy the Great Venezuela Housing Missionwhile she promised that opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia will return to the Venezuelan people the security and respect that the regime has taken from themduring various campaign events.
