Nicolas Maduro attacked again Maria Corina Machado by questioning the disruption suffered by the Nobel Peace Prize winner during her frantic departure from hiding to Oslo, where she was to receive the award.
Once again, the Chavista leader referred to the Venezuelan opposition leader as “La Sayona,” a figure from Venezuelan folklore who punishes men. “He said he had a broken vertebra; What’s broken is the brain and the soul because She is a demon who hates Venezuela“He hates you and is manipulating the four followers he still has,” Maduro launched in a new public outburst.
“She She is crazy and mad with hatred. “She is a criminal who calls the people of Venezuela drug traffickers and calls on them to invade and kill Venezuelans as part of a gringo-imperialist invasion,” he added, alluding to the constant pressure that Donald Trump’s administration is putting on the Caribbean.
On Monday, Machado’s spokeswoman Claudia Macero confirmed that the opposition leader had suffered a fractured vertebra since her departure from Venezuela, after Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten published that the injury occurred during part of the transfer in a small fishing boat in the middle of rough seas. According to media reports, the diagnosis was made at Ullevål University Hospital in Oslo. “At this time, no further information will be provided beyond what is contained in the article,” the spokesperson clarified.
The 58-year-old opponent arrived in Oslo early on Thursday, too late to attend the awards ceremony, which was eventually picked up by her daughter Ana Corina Sosa. Since arriving in Norway, he has said several times that he wants to see a doctor, without giving further details.
However, the break did not prevent him from Walk over a barrier to greet fans in the Norwegian capital, making his first public appearance in the Nordic country.
At the risk of being declared a refugee in the country where she lived in secret, Machado left Venezuela under conditions that remain obscure to this day.
According to a former American combatant who founded a company dedicated to deporting foreigners from dangerous areas, leaving the South American country was possible thanks to a bizarre operation called “Golden Dynamite”. According to Bryan Stern’s story, Machado left Caracas disguised and wearing a wig and went to a beach in the north of the country.

Already on the coast, the boat he was supposed to use to escape – an old fishing boat chosen to avoid arousing suspicion or exposing himself to US bombings in the Caribbean Sea against ships that Washington says are transporting drugs – was damaged.
He eventually managed to get on board, but the GPS didn’t work. Numb from the cold and soaked, she then went to another ship where Stern himself was.
On board this ship arrived in Curaçaofrom where he took a private plane to Oslo, with a stopover in the USA.
“There were moments where I felt like there was a real danger to my life, and it was also a very spiritual moment because in the end I just felt like I was in God’s hands,” Machado said in Oslo on Friday.
