I want to be a normal kid.

I want to go to school.

They were going to upload it to social media.

Millions of dollars pour in, but the families never receive the money.

That is no easy feat.

But then it was no easy feat to leave Venezuela for her either.

Remember, she had been in hiding for more than a year, ever since she spoke out against those disputed elections.

And we think that she probably had been moving from one hiding place to the other.

And we will be very interested to hear how she did manage to make it out of the country.

Remember, there are very few flights in and out of Caracas at the moment as well, because the US President Donald Trump...

declared the airspace around the capital closed amid a heightening of military tension.

The speech was emotional.

Of course, you could hear Ana Corina Sosa's voice breaking at times as she tried to keep her composure.

What I thought was very interesting is that she stressed the role of families in Venezuela, and specifically families

of the families whose loved ones have emigrated.

More than 8 million people have left Venezuela over the last 10 years as the economic and political crisis has gotten worse and worse.

And Ana Corina Sosa, reading out the words from her mother, said that these families and appealing to these families and telling them that if they can be in power, if Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez, who stood in for her at the elections because she was barred from running,

If they can come into power, they will make sure that all of those 8 million people have the chance to return to a safe Venezuela.

And she said that it was that that made people often change their minds and which united the hitherto very divided opposition.

I think it will inspire those who felt that international attention had turned away after the disputed election.
