The leader of the opposition María Corina Machado assured this Wednesday, in an interview with EVTVthat is in Venezuela, which denies the government of Nicolás Maduro, what he had said shortly before The former deputy “fled the country to Spain”where the opponent Edmundo González Urrutia is exiled.

«Venezuelans know that I am here in Venezuela, the people know it and Nicolás Maduro also knows it. What happens is that they are desperate to know where I am, and I am not going to give them that pleasure,” said Machado, who maintained that she and the country’s citizens are “here fighting and determined to advance to the end.”

On the other hand, Maduro, according to Machadois in a “parallel universe surrounded by bodyguards” because “he knows that the people defeated him” in the presidential elections on July 28, in which the opposition asserts that González Urrutia was the “elected” candidate, despite the fact that the National Electoral Council (CNE) proclaimed Maduro the winner.

Previously, the official leader said, in a televised event, that “the sayona” – as he usually refers to Machado in a derogatory way – “also left” the country and “fled” to “a very good tavern somewhere in Spain.” ».

«Don’t tell anyone, he left the country, my sources tell me that he fled (…) they are cowards, they are good at sending messages of hate and intolerance, but he left, the Gucci suitcases arrived and he left,” he said then, once again without giving any name.

Gonzalez Urrutialeader of the main opposition coalition – the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) -, arrived in Madrid on September 8, after requesting asylum due to the political and judicial persecution that he reported having suffered in Venezuela after the elections.
