María Corina Machado Parisca (born 7 October 1967,〔 Machado, María Corina. (Mi experiencia. ) Es ahora. María Corina. Accessed 25 April 2010.〕 sometimes referred to as MCM) served as an elected member of the National Assembly of Venezuela (NA). She was the founder, former vice president, and former president〔 of the Venezuelan volunteer civil organization ''Súmate'', along with Alejandro Plaz,〔 and a pre-candidate for the 2012 Venezuelan presidential elections.〔 Machado was charged (together with other ''Súmate'' representatives) with conspiracy for funds Súmate received from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), triggering condemnation of the administration of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez from human rights groups supported by NED. During the 2014 Venezuelan protests, Machado was one of the lead figures in organizing protests against the government of Nicolás Maduro.〔Kurmanaev, Anatoly (23 December 2014). ("Venezuela Protests Drive Poor to Maduro as Death Toll Mounts". ) ''Business Week''. Accessed 23 December 2014.〕 ==Personal== Machado was born 7 October 1967〔 as the "eldest of four daughters () a steel entrepreneur and an accomplished psychologist".〔 She acknowledges a "childhood protected from contact with reality" in a "conservative, staunchly Catholic family", that included education in private schools in Venezuela and boarding schools in the USA and several trips in Europe.〔 Her ancestors included the author of the 1881 classic ''Venezuela Heroica'' and a relative who was killed in an uprising against Venezuelan dictator Juan Vicente Gómez.〔 Machado has a degree in industrial engineering from Andrés Bello Catholic University and a master's degree in finance from Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Administración (IESA, business school) in Caracas.〔〔〔("María Corina Machado". ) ''El Universal'', (24 April 2006). Accessed 24 February 2010.〕 In 1992 Machado – a mother of three – started ''Fundación Atenea'' (Atenea Foundation), a foundation using private donations to care for orphaned and delinquent Caracas street children; she also served as chair of the Oportunitas Foundation.〔〔 After working in the auto industry in Valencia she moved in 1993 to Caracas.〔 Because of her subsequent role in ''Súmate'', Machado left the foundation so that it would not be politicized.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「María Corina Machado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
