Machado pointed out that the position of the Maduro administration deteriorates more every day. «Time is against Nicolás Maduro and in favor of the position of the Venezuelans. “Maduro is going to leave with or without negotiation”
Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize winner, stated that a negotiation in Venezuela to achieve a transition will start from the recognition of the popular sovereignty expressed on July 28 and respect for the Constitution.
In statements to several media outlets present at the Grand Hotel Oslo, in Norway, he responded to the question asked by SuchWhich about an eventual negotiation that allows for political change in the country and what she would be willing to give up.
«You know very well that the end of a negotiation depends on the starting point. That is, how we got there and obviously the relative strengths, but in addition to the specific elements of what is going to be discussed there it would not make sense to expose them before. But what I can assure Venezuelans is that if a transition occurs as a result of a negotiation, it will start from the recognition of the popular sovereignty of July 28 and obviously from respect for the Venezuelan Constitution.

Machado insisted on the work they are doing to achieve a solution in Venezuela and in that sense, he stated that among the terms proposed is respect for justice, as well as incentives for “those who want to collaborate from different components of the regime” to facilitate a transition and to do so as “soon as possible.”
He noted that the position of the Maduro administration deteriorates more every day. «Time is against Nicolás Maduro and in favor of the position of the Venezuelans. “Maduro is going to leave with or without negotiation.”
Machado noted that they will soon announce what they will do with the million dollars he received for the Nobel Peace Prize. He only announced that it is something “that is very exciting to us.”
In Oslo, this Friday, Machado did not want to give or confirm details about the operation that extracted her from Venezuela but he did talk about his experience. «I can tell you that they were very intense hours, where there were moments when I felt that there was a real risk for my life.and it was also a very spiritual moment because I simply felt that I was in the hands of God, that it will be what the Lord decides. “He wanted me to be here, to hug my family and relatives of so many political prisoners who came here to Oslo.” The statements occurred at a press conference for a few international media, where SuchWhich He was the only Venezuelan.
Promises stabilization
Machado assured this Friday that the political transition in Venezuela is “irreversible” and that there are already detailed plans to stabilize the country, prepared in coordination with international agencies and allied governments. «The future is being built. We decide what we want, we design that process and we work very hard to achieve it. Today all the vectors of force have been aligned in a direction that a year ago seemed impossible,” he stated.
Machado assured that there are clear strategies to neutralize criminal and armed threats in different areas of the country. «A lot of information has been gathered. We know where the threats are and how to proceed to deactivate them. It is not the same strategy for the north of the country as for the south of the Orinoco or the maritime areas,” he explained.
He affirmed that these plans are developed in cooperation with agencies and governments from different parts of the world, and expressed confidence that the majority of the Armed Forces and police forces will follow the orders of an elected civilian government.
The leader explained that the current focus of her team is to guarantee that the process is orderly, peaceful and with quickly visible results for the population. Machado warned that institutional reconstruction will be complex due to the opacity of the regime. «No one has any idea what Venezuela’s financial reserves are. We do not know how the gold, the debt, the income or the expenses are. Imagine taking control of the State without that information,” he said.
