Maria Corina Machado

But at the end, this is an issue.

The main issue here is the will of the Venezuelan people that was expressed

using ballots, not bullets, ballots, a year ago, and we won by a landslide in an election that was absolutely fraudulent, in extreme unfair conditions, but we won because of the people.

And now we will enforce this mandate of regime change very soon.

I dedicate it to the people of Venezuela and President Trump because I think it's the correct thing to do.

Not only for what he has been doing in the last months to solve long and painful conflicts around the world, but precisely for what he's doing right now for the Americas.

Because this is not only about Venezuela.

I want you to assure something.

Once Maduro goes and we liberate our country, the Cuban regime will follow.

The Nicaraguan regime will follow.

And for the first time in history, for the first time in history, we will have the Americas free of communism and narco dictatorships.

Well, first of all, there is no doubt that Venezuela has turned the main channel of cocaine and drug trafficking in the region.

So everybody knows that the Cartel de los Soles is one of the main criminal structures in the world.

Maduro is the head of that cartel and they have taken over.

the state.

The cartel has taken control of everything and is torturing, destroying, persecuting millions of Venezuela.

They have forced a third of our population to flee and they are destabilizing intentionally the region and undermining

The institutions in the United States, because they have turned Venezuela into the safe haven of the enemies of the United States, Iran, China, Russia, Hezbollah, Hamas, and others.

I believe that you need to cut the flows of illegal criminal business.

The regime has, we have been asking for years, the international community to stop those flows, to stop, you know... Are military strikes a good way to do that?
