Machado Misses Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, but Vows to Visit Oslo

“I’m very unhappy and really sorry to inform you that I received’t have the ability to arrive in time for the ceremony. However I will probably be in Oslo. I’m on my approach to Oslo proper now.” “In the course of the previous 16 months in clandestinity, now we have constructed new networks of civic stress and disciplined disobedience, getting ready for Venezuela’s orderly transition to democracy. What we Venezuelans can supply the world is the lesson, cast by this lengthy and tough journey, that to have democracy, we have to be prepared to struggle for freedom.”
