00:00But, Catalina, I want to come to you because it's all been about Venezuela's opposition leader at the moment.

00:06Of course, she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:10You've actually interviewed her yourself before.

00:14How will this further affect Maduro's position?

00:17Because, of course, she's been in Oslo.

00:19She's been doing the rounds on TV.

00:22She's really in the spotlight now.

00:24Exactly, Lana.

00:25And speaking of the spotlight and momentum, when Maria Corina Cotau was faced with two scenarios when awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,

00:33she was saying to go or not to go, obviously, given the acute safety situation concerns that she was facing.

00:39So, in one hand, the people in her inner circle were saying, don't risk your life, not even for a prize.

00:45We need you here alive to fight Maduro.

00:48Then she was faced with another option.

00:50They said, do this for your country, no matter the risk.

00:54And, finally, this was a no-brainer for her.

00:57When the decision was put in this context, there was only one option to take.

01:00She said, go for the people of Venezuela at all costs.

01:04So, we're seeing all this media coverage, this courageous political act.

01:08It's actually out of a movie script.

01:11You also, reportedly, she also said she had the Americans help her.

01:14We still, as you said, don't have the details about this secret mission.

01:18I'm sure it was very risky and her life was at risk.

01:20So, she finally didn't make it on time to the prize ceremony, but she made it safe.

01:25All of this, as you said, getting the spotlight required to put Maduro down.

01:31Who knows?

01:31Because all eyes are on.

01:33So, what's going to happen next for Venezuela?

01:35So, to answer your question, Leanne, how is this going to further affect Maduro's position?

01:40Well, as this is the U.S. side, Donald Trump has said that Maduro's days are counted.

01:46Because since 2024, when Maduro was, when Machado was robbed from the election result,

01:52she went with 93% of the Venezuelan people.

01:55There hasn't been this much worldwide and media attention on what's happening in Venezuela and this region.

02:01And so, the momentum right now is, let's free Venezuela.

02:05Let's bring democracy back to this country.

02:08All eyes on Venezuela.

02:09So, this can't be a good thing for Maduro.
