Anything.

They felt they had absolute impunity.

Now they start to understand that this is serious and the world is really watching.

You need to raise the cost of staying in power and lowering the cost of leaving power.

Only when you do that, this regime will break down.

And that's where we are moving towards right now.

First, I want to express our infinite gratitude from my family, from an entire country, to the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Thanks to you, the struggle of an entire people for truth, for freedom, for democracy and peace is today recognized around the world.

Thank you so much, Aisha.

My pleasure.

Of course not.

Well, first of all, because I only conceived my life in freedom and in my country, in Venezuela.

And secondly, because I believe I'm much more useful for our cause here, close to our people.

The main asset we've had during these long years is precisely the will of the people.

Fortunately, we have these technology means nowadays that I can talk to you and millions around the world and leaders around the world and convey what's going on in Venezuela from here.

And we're seeing that they are finally acting and supporting this cause.

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.
