Ana Corina Sosa, the daughter of Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, said she was aware that when she returned to Venezuela her mother would be in danger, but at the same time she knew that your mission is in your country and that he will not rest until he is free again.
“They must understand that their return in these conditions constitutes a risk and that my mother is going to be in dangerSosa said in an interview in Oslo, where he was reunited with his mother after two years of forced separation.
“But I know that the mission that she carries is bigger than us right now and that she is doing it for our future and so that we can be back in Venezuela and finally in peace and freedom and united as a family. It gives us strength to know that she is doing something noble and she is doing it for us,” he said.
Sosa said it was hard to put into words what it meant kisses his mother again.
“It’s hard to put this into words. It’s been two years since we last saw each other in person. but they felt longer because the country has been through so much and above all, my mother faced enormous risks and threats to her life on a daily basis,” he said.
At the same time, Sosa recalled in the interview the situation of other Venezuelans who They don’t wait for a reunion with their loved ones and they don’t even know where they are.
“The suffering of Venezuelans is very real. While we had this expectation and certainty that we were going to see each other again because I had already gone through the greatest risk and was safe and without danger, we also remembered that there are millions of Venezuelans who have not seen their loved ones for more than ten years and that there are Venezuelans who do not even know if their loved ones are alive and who are imprisoned or missing,” she reflected.
Sosa said that what he feels now, knowing that his mother will return to Venezuela and that They will have to separate again.
“On the one hand, I don’t want him to leaveI want to hold her in my arms and hide her and for her to stay and be able to live a normal life with her family, enjoy a normal life, go to the Christmas markets that are there. “We have this desire and this natural and human impulse to enjoy a normal life,” he said.
“But we are very aware that even though we have had my mother for a while, we know that her heart and her mission and her purpose is in Venezuela and she has made it very clear to Venezuelans that He will come back, his work is not finished and I know that Venezuelans know María Corina very well and that her mission is in Venezuela until the country is free,” he emphasized.
When asked what the award ceremony, in which she represented her mother who had not arrived in Oslo on time, meant to her, she replied: It had been a huge honor.also as Venezuelan
“The situation that exists in Venezuela is not a question of right or left but of moral clarity, dignity, defense of democracy, of the principles of freedom”, said Sosa, who welcomed the fact that this was clearly expressed in the speech of the chairman of the Nobel Committee, Jørgen Watne Frydnes.
“This speech was an injection of forceshowed that our cause is just and that the world recognizes us,” he said.
“I want to tell Venezuelans that freedom is something for which fight every day and if our parents taught us anything, it’s that it can’t be taken for granted. Let us hope that the fight we are leading in Venezuela will be an example for the world,” he added.
