After the long-awaited arrival in Oslo of María Corina Machado on the occasion of the Nobel Peace ceremony, the Venezuelan opponent wanted to publicly thank the support she received from different regions, both towards her and that of the … Venezuelan people. In the case of Spain, he highlighted the “support of the Spanish people”, which he extended to the media, Congress or even political parties, but not to the government of Pedro Sánchez, believing that “help was lacking” on his part.
In an interview on Cadena Cope and when asked about this issue, he pointed out that “History will judge, as the Venezuelan people do today, what was missing, what was certainly missing”. However, he stressed that other European neighbors have reacted and “other governments have taken leadership in defending the Venezuelan people” because, he wanted to emphasize, “it is not a question of defending a movement or a party affair”, but rather of defending freedom, justice and equality.
This is what, according to him, the Spanish people understood, highlighting the welcome of the Venezuelans and the fact that they feel “at home”. “We have welcomed many Spaniards on Venezuelan soil and they have welcomed their children. Even if we want them to come back,” he warned.
Return to Venezuela
Machado, who had to leave Venezuela on a boat in which she drifted for several hours before being rescued and then flown to Oslo, He admitted he feared for his life. However, his intention, after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, is to return to his country.
“I came to receive the award on behalf of the Venezuelan people and I will bring him back to Venezuela at the right time“He declared as he left the Norwegian parliament, without however specifying when he would return. “I won’t say when or how it will happen,” he said, but he wants to “end this tyranny very soon and have a free Venezuela.”
Venezuelan authorities said Machado could become a “fugitive” if she traveled to Oslo to receive the prize, given for her “fight” for democracy. Referring to threats to their security, the opposition said that “anyone who lives in Venezuela and wants to tell the truth is in danger.”
