María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader who recently escaped to Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, is determined to return home "as soon as possible" despite the risks she faces under President Nicolas Maduro's regime. For Machado, her journey to Norway was a crucial moment of recognition for the Venezuelan people, who have endured years of suffering under what they see as a brutal and corrupt government.
Machado's comments come after Venezuela's attorney general issued a statement saying that if she were to leave the country to accept the prize, she would be considered a fugitive. However, Machado is undeterred by these warnings, citing the regime's history of persecution, torture, and violence against its own citizens.
When asked about her plan to return to Venezuela, Machado acknowledged that her children - who now live abroad - are naturally concerned for their mother's safety. However, she argued that Maduro's regime has a long history of targeting opponents with extreme brutality, making it increasingly impossible for anyone to remain in the country without taking risks.
For Machado, her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize is not just a personal recognition but also a call to action for the Venezuelan people. She sees herself as a symbol of resistance against what she describes as a "criminal, narcoterrorist structure" that has ravaged her country for years. By accepting the prize, Machado aims to bring attention and hope back to Venezuela, where millions have suffered under Maduro's rule.
The details of Machado's daring escape from Venezuela remain classified, but it is clear that she was aided by a complex operation led by an American rescue team. The journey was not easy, with Machado facing hours of rough seas before boarding a flight to Norway.
Machado's courage and determination have sparked widespread hope among Venezuelans who are desperate for change. As she prepares to return home, Machado is sending a powerful message that the people will no longer be silenced or intimidated by those in power.

IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT THAT SHE HAS TO FEAR FOR HER LIFE AND THE LIVES OF HER CHILDREN JUST TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST CORRUPTION AND INJUSTICE. HER JOURNEY TO NORWAY WAS A HUGE MOMENT FOR THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE, AND I HOPE IT GIVES THEM THE HOPE THEY NEED TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR A BETTER FUTURE. 
it's crazy how some people will do whatever it takes 2 fight 4 what they believe in, & machado's definitely got that kind of spirit 
her journey 2 norway was def not easy, but i'm sure it was worth it just 2 get that recognition & bring awareness 2 the ppl back home 
. This is just the start of something big, I can feel it!
machado's got more guts than most ppl i know! accepting the nobel peace prize and all, but then facing threats from Maduro's regime? brava for speaking truth to power & not giving up on her people 
she's like a symbol of resistance 4 those who've lost hope. it's crazy that americans are helping her escape - kinda cool, tho 
. Like, I get it, she's got a Nobel Peace Prize under her belt, but does she really think the Maduro regime is just gonna roll over and let her come back? 
, even if it is a little reckless.
- its like she has this fire in her soul to bring change to venezuela, even if it means risking everything herself . the way she describes madrids regime as a "criminal, narcoterrorist structure" gives me chills 
. and i love how she sees herself as a symbol of resistance - thats exactly what venezuela needs right now .
. She's like a symbol of hope for Venezuela and its people who've been suffering under Maduro's regime for far too long. I mean, can you imagine what it's like to live in a country where the government is basically saying "you're not allowed to leave" just because they don't like you? It's crazy! 
. That's some serious guts, if you ask me. I'm not surprised she wants to go back home now - she's got a message for Maduro and the people of Venezuela: "we're not going down without a fight". It's like she's saying, "hey, we know what's been going on in this country, and we're not afraid to speak out".
but at the same time, I get it, she needs to spread hope and show that Venezuela deserves better 
... I mean, I get why Maduro's regime is freaked out about her Nobel Peace Prize win - it's like they're all "Hey, someone's talking back and we can't control the narrative" 
. But honestly, Machado's been speaking truth to power for years, and now she's getting the recognition she deserves 
. I'm not surprised she wants to return home; what's a Nobel Peace Prize worth if you're not willing to fight for it? 
. It's like they're trying to prove that they can silence anyone who dares to speak out against them 
. But Machado's message of resistance and hope is exactly what we need to see more of, and I'm glad she's taking a stand 
.
.
. She's like a symbol of hope for the people who are tired of living under Maduro's regime 
. I'm sure her journey from Norway was super tough, but she's willing to take that risk to bring attention to the suffering of her country 
. the dude's got some serious explaining to do for the state of venezuela rn...all those ppl suffering under his rule 
, it's time for change!
But at the same time, I get why she wants to go back home - it's like her voice is being heard and people are finally paying attention 
it's soooo pretty! i mean, i know machado's story is super inspiring and all, but let's talk about the tech for a sec... i heard the new phone has like, a 100mp camera or something? and no one's talking about it yet 
It's like she's saying, "Hey, we're not gonna take this lying down!" 
Her kids are already living abroad, so it's natural they'd be worried. But Machado's all about standing up to that corrupt regime and giving the people a voice 
. I mean, can you even imagine leaving your kids behind in a foreign country because you know they'll be safer there? It's like she's willing to put it all on the line for her people 
. She's not backing down, even in the face of danger, and I think that's exactly what Venezuelans need right now - hope 
), but honestly, it doesn't matter how she got there - the fact that she made it out alive is a miracle 
. Bring on her return to Venezuela and let's see some real change happen 
!
i mean think about it she's been on the run from maduro's regime and still manages to get recognized with a nobel peace prize 
it's time for him to face the music. and btw if anyone needs her or has proof that she was tortured or harassed by the regime, machado should get that nobel prize 
just kidding kind of
. It's like they're waiting for the perfect moment to strike 
. One thing's for sure, though - Machado's message of resistance will resonate with millions who've lost hope in Venezuela
