The opposition leader and national coordinator of Vente Venezuela, María Corina Machado, assured this Sunday that “we are prepared for the decisive hour” and “to consummate the change” that, she said, was built on July 28.
“We are very close, we are prepared for the decisive hour (…) Soon we are going to consummate the change that we long for as a family and as a nation,” Machado stated in an audio spread on their social networks.

«The situation of our political prisoners is criminal, they and their family are suffering deeply (…) I do not understand how people faced with an event like this do nothing, or what is worse, people who feel that they do not have to do something. “This is our responsibility,” said Machado.
In addition, he said that “all” political prisoners – among whom there are adolescents, older adults and people with disabilities – “suffer some type of physical or psychological abuse, they all need us to regain their freedom.”
My message this Sunday is especially for you, Mariana. You speak for every child and every young person in Venezuela.
You represent the strength of the vulnerable.No one, ever, can be indifferent to evil.

He also addressed Mariana González, a 17-year-old girl released from prison in the state of Carabobo after writing a letter to her mother expressing her intentions to commit suicide. “All the children and young people of Venezuela speak through you (…) That letter breaks the heart of any mother in this country and the world.”
«My call to Venezuelans is not to remain indifferent to evil. As a community, let’s take action. Let’s do good, let’s protect our brothers who suffer and when they are called, make their contribution, individual, small, medium or large to materialize the change that we built and that we already decreed on July 28,” said the opposition leader.
