Summary of NORBEY MARIN ENTREVISTA A MARIA CORINA : TENGO UNA PREGUNTA

In the interview hosted by Norb Marín, María Corina Machado, a prominent leader of the Venezuelan opposition, discusses the current political climate in Venezuela and the implications of international justice, particularly in light of the arrest of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Machado draws parallels between Duterte's situation and that of Nicolás Maduro's regime, emphasizing that those who commit crimes against humanity will eventually face justice, creating incentives for current supporters of the Maduro regime to reconsider their allegiance.

Machado highlights the importance of international support and the need for swift action from the ICC regarding the numerous human rights violations in Venezuela. She mentions that over 9,000 cases are prepared for investigation, stressing that the overwhelming evidence should prompt a decisive response from international authorities.

The conversation shifts to the relationship between Venezuela and the United States, particularly under the Trump administration. Machado notes that recent meetings with U.S. officials, including Donald Trump's son, signal strong support for the Venezuelan opposition and the potential for future economic partnerships. She asserts that Venezuela's vast natural resources, particularly its oil reserves, present a significant opportunity for investment and economic recovery, which has been stifled under the current regime.

Machado also addresses concerns about the constitutional process of swearing in the elected president, Edmundo González Urrutia, and her potential role as vice president. She emphasizes the need for a political transition that is recognized both domestically and internationally, stating that the focus should be on taking power rather than formalities.

The discussion touches on the challenges of mobilizing citizens amidst severe repression and the need for strategic organization. Machado reassures that efforts are ongoing to prepare for a future transition, and she calls for unity among Venezuelans, both at home and abroad, to support the fight for democracy and justice.

In conclusion, Machado expresses optimism about the future of Venezuela, asserting that the current regime is increasingly isolated and that a transition is inevitable. She encourages Venezuelans to remain hopeful and engaged in the struggle for their country's liberation.
