Among those traveling to Oslo this week to accompany María Corina Machado to receive the Nobel Peace Prize was Florida Republican state congresswoman, Maria Elvira Salazar. Of Cuban origin, and in the same way … According to this line, the American Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, maintains very harsh rhetoric against the dictatorships of Cuba and Venezuela.
His support for Machado has always been evident and he wanted to celebrate this award with her. “She personally invited us to be here with her,” she told ABC outside the gates of the Grand Hotel on the same day the opposition leader was unable to collect the prize, and just an hour before she arrived in the Norwegian capital. Like hundreds of Venezuelans, Machado aides and journalists, Salazar waited in the early hours of Wednesday to Thursday to see her arrive after her dangerous journey to leave Venezuela. And he was one of the first to greet her.
Regarding the award ceremony, the MP said that “the Norwegians took up the challenge. And they said what they had to say in this extraordinary speech, in which they asked Maduro to leave. European countries do not always understand the difficulties we are going through in the Western Hemisphere. Thank God, the Norwegians understood this and perfectly described the Maduro dictatorship. The most important thing of all is that María Corina has always put the interests of Venezuela before her own. And that’s why he couldn’t get there to collect the prize, he said.
Salazar highlights what the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado means: “What happened is extraordinary, it highlighted at the international level what Venezuela is. Because sometimes in Europe, in Africa… we don’t know what is happening in Venezuela and how the dictatorship (of Maduro), as is the case in Cuba, has kidnapped this country,” he stressed.
Asked about the results she can obtain, she has no doubt: “I am sure she will make Maduro leave the country. “The military mobilization on the Caribbean coast clearly demonstrates this.” And he supports his administration’s actions: “Let people know that President Trump is not invading a country or removing a legitimate president. Maduro is on the list of transnational criminals, terrorists.
The Republican MP also stressed that “Venezuela is currently the largest producer of cocaine because it contains hydrochloric acid, which makes the quality of cocaine arriving in the United States worse and more deadly. Because these pastes come from Colombia and they have five key laboratories. Whoever doesn’t want to know… But we do. So get your hands on it,” he concluded.
