It is not viable for Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez to enter the country, his ally Maria Corina Machado said on Friday, shortly after President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a third term despite months of controversy over the country's contested July election.

On Thursday Machado was briefly detained after leaving a march - her first appearance in months - and forced to film several videos, her campaign team said, while the government denied involvement.
