Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado arrived secretly in Oslo after defying a travel ban and spending over a year in hiding. She thanked those who “risked their lives” to help her reach Norway and expressed hope for a free, democratic Venezuela. In Oslo, she reunited with her exiled children after two years and greeted supporters from her hotel balcony.
00:00And I assure you that I am very hopeful Venezuela will be free.
00:30I am very proud of you, I am very proud of you.
01:00And I assure you that I am very hopeful Venezuela will be free.
01:09And actually, I want to take advantage of your question to thank all those men and women that risked their life so that I could be here today.
01:22One day, I will be able to tell you, because certainly I don't want to put them in risk right now.
01:31It was quite an experience, but I think it's worthwhile being here with you, telling the world what's happening in Venezuela, what it means to you as Norwegians and as Europeans from all the places where you come from.
01:52Why Venezuela matters for the world.
01:57I mean, when you fight for freedom, we're fighting for humanity.
02:01I mean, when you're alive, I must do it.
02:11You say you speak for freedom, but you're not sure to do it.
