While Machado’s approach may seem appealing, it risks exacerbating social divides in Venezuela. Her emphasis on privatization and free markets may alienate poorer populations who have been severely affected by years of economic hardship, creating further instability rather than fostering unity.

Machado's history and rhetoric might stir concerns about her capacity to unite a deeply fractured nation. Critics argue that her past affiliations and strong anti-socialist stance could alienate many Venezuelans who still support social welfare programs.
