Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado assured this Thursday that “it takes courage to fight for freedom,” at the same time saying she is “hopeful for the future” of her country. “It takes courage to fight for freedom,” said Machado, who is in the Norwegian city of Oslo, where the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the leader’s daughter on Wednesday.
In another part of his speech, he stated: “Peace is an act of love and democracy is the system that brings peace to society. We want our children to be back home.”
Meanwhile, he advocated that Venezuela is “a free country” and said his award was “a recognition of the Venezuelan people.” “I am very hopeful for the future of Venezuela,” Machado said.
