“History will judge what was missing”

“In relation to the Spanish Government I am simply going to say that history will judge, as the people of Venezuela do today, what has been lacking. Of course, it has been lacking.” This is what the new Nobel Peace Prize winner and Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado said this Friday from Oslo, in a new press conference.

The dissident, who managed to travel to Norway after a journey that was a true odyssey, escaping the tentacles of the Maduro regime, has succinctly attacked Pedro Sánchez’s Executive and has regretted its position. Neither the president nor any of his ministers congratulated María Corina Machado when the Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to give her such recognition.

“There have been other countries and other governments in Europe that have assumed leadership in defending the people of Venezuela,” he continued. “This is not defending a movement or an issue of political parties, but rather transcends doctrinal and ideological differences. Here we are fighting for freedom, for democracy, for justice, for truth.”

The Venezuelan opposition leader, on the other hand, does not plan to travel to Spain or undertake a European tour once she leaves Oslo, but will focus on planning her return to Venezuela, where she wants to return as soon as possible, as confirmed in her various statements in recent hours.

“There is no plan to go to Spain. What she is doing now is her plan to return to Venezuela,” added sources close to María Corina cited by the agency. Efe. “The movements she makes will be announced at the time and obviously they are quite reserved and discreet because of what her figure represents”

Machado, who arrived in the Norwegian capital early Thursday morning thanks to a daring extraction operation by a private company supported by the Trump Administration, has assured that it was his duty to travel, despite the risks he assumed, to collect the Nobel and even if he arrived a few hours after the award ceremony.

Machado, who this Friday was received in audience by the kings of Norway, has stated that her return to Venezuela, where she had been living clandestinely for a year, “will be as soon as possible,” although she did not want to confirm when or how it will occur. “It will be when the right conditions are met” for their safety, he detailed.
