According to reports, Machado revealed her plans for protests while speaking to other anti-Maduro activists during a virtual meeting over the weekend. During the meeting, she also stressed the urgency of taking action against Maduro before the start of Venezuela&rsquo;s next presidential term on Jan. 10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This Dec. 1 will be a unique demonstration,&rdquo; Machado <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/venezuela-opposition-calls-enormous-anti-192550461.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Machado led many protests and demonstrations against Maduro in July regarding Venezuela&rsquo;s presidential elections. Maduro was announced as the winner, although it is believed that he lost the election. Instead of admitting defeat, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">authoritarian left-wing leader<\/a> used government agencies in Venezuela to claim that he won. When asked to provide evidence of voter records showing that Maduro won, the Venezuelan president and his regime refused to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We have the final stretch ahead of us,&rdquo; Machado <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/menafn.com\/1108920880\/Machado-Plans-A-Huge-Protest-Inside-And-Outside-Venezuela-For-December-1\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>. &ldquo;Everyone knows what happened on July 28, and everyone knows that Venezuela will be free. It is up to us to lead this process and ensure, as we are doing, that each of the different actors, inside and outside the country, do what they are supposed to do.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>After the election in July, thousands of protesters objected to the election results and held many demonstrations for weeks after Maduro refused to admit defeat. He was criticized and scolded by Machado and his opponent in the presidential election, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3159345\/venezuelas-opposition-candidate-forced-to-accept-maduro-presidential-election-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Edmundo Gonzalez<\/a>. Maduro&rsquo;s regime eventually cracked down on opposition and dissenting voices and arrested thousands. Gonzalez was forced to flee the country due to security concerns and other threats and was granted asylum in Spain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Much of the international community has condemned Maduro for not honoring the votes of his country&rsquo;s citizens. In August, the European Union announced it would not recognize Maduro&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3138860\/european-union-announces-it-will-not-recognize-legitimacy-of-venezuela-president\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;democratic legitimacy.&rdquo;<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We cannot accept the legitimacy of Maduro as elected president.

Of the international community, Machado said that opposition efforts have &ldquo;more allies, and the actions will be firmer, more decisive, until the regime understands that time is up.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Their only option is to accept negotiations with us, and to do that, we have to act now,&rdquo; Machado <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/menafn.com\/1108920880\/Machado-Plans-A-Huge-Protest-Inside-And-Outside-Venezuela-For-December-1\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> to <em>Mena FN<\/em>. &ldquo;This first of December will be a unique, unprecedented protest.
