Javier Milei will be present this Wednesday at the presentation of the Nobel Prize to Paz to the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Maria Corina Machado. This Monday he traveled with a small delegation, which also included the Chancellor, to Oslo, the historic home of the symbolic award. Pablo Quirno and the Secretary General of the Presidium, Karina Milei.
There will also be a meeting on this day with King Harald V and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
In this way, Milei corresponds to a personal invitation carried out by Corina Machado herself, with whom she has spoken several times, with whom she has a remarkable relationship and with whom she is expected to hold a meeting if the entire mega security operation to remove her from Venezuela is successful.
Milei had heated verbal arguments with Maduro, whom he described as a dictator. He received at the Argentine residence the five Machado collaborators, who lived under conditions of total siege by the Chavista forces, even after Maduro expelled all Argentine diplomats from the residence a virtual severance of diplomatic relations.
Since the Argentine gendarme Nahuel Gallo Milei was arbitrarily arrested exactly a year ago while traveling overland from Colombia to Venezuela. He avoided further verbal escalation, but maintained his position against the Venezuelan dictatorship in all forums.
“It is very important for the cause of Venezuela that a president like Milei, who has so vigorously supported María Corina, is present, and this will be a before and after in this epic crusade for the freedom of Venezuela,” Adriana Flores, director of the ConVzla Argentina Command and coordinator of the Vente Venezuela party in the region, told this newspaper. She is Machado’s representative here and she was also on the road this Monday.
Corina Machado lives in hiding and his most recent appearances were last year for the campaign and the presidential election in July, where the numbers bear this out his dolphin, the Edmundo González Urrutia, won, although Nicolás Maduro declared himself the winner, whom few democracies recognize as president.
His whereabouts in Venezuela are unknown, there is only speculation and his departure, as promised, will be in person in the Norwegian capital on Wednesday. It is a real challenge for the Chavista dictatorship.
It’s a mystery how it’s done, as not only does it risk jail time, but also Many airlines do not fly to Venezuela for days as part of the increasing military siege of the regime by the sea and air fleet Donald Trump.
Furthermore, the Wall Street Journal emphasized at the time: “For Machado, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize could mean exile.” Edmundo González Urrutia, seen as the elected president by the Venezuelan opposition and numerous governments, including Mileis – He went into exile in Spain. González Urrutia will be present at the Nobel Prize ceremony President Donald Trump wanted to win.
The popular leader has not left her country for years and has promised to travel. Her mother is already in Oslo waiting for her. But Machado said he made the decision “to travel for the Venezuelans who want a democratic and free nation.”
In addition to Milei, there will be someThe President of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, who offered to mediate between Trump and Maduro with Qatar. Also the presidents of Paraguay, Santiago Pena; and from Ecuador, Daniel Noboa.
Corina Machado also sent a special invitation to the Argentine diplomat Gabriel Volpi, who, as chargé d’affaires, underwent a risky operation in March 2024 opened the Argentine residence in Caracas so that Machado’s employees can enter. It happened on the instructions of Milei and former Chancellor Diana Mondino. But in the middle of the whole asylum operation, the State Department made the mistake of retiring him, and they had no valid interlocutor before the dictatorship.
Machado also has a good relationship with the former president Mauricio Macri; instead Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner completely ignored them.
Milei will depart from Buenos Aires this Monday and will fly to Oslo on a special flight on Tuesday afternoon. He is expected to arrive back in the country on Thursday.
