Maria Korena MacDo, a fearless worker with a rock star appeal, is an important face of Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro’s iron -hit government.

Venezuela’s independence hero Simon, “The Liber”, known as “Liberutora”, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on Friday.

He was barred from challenging Maduro in the 2024 elections, then detained and was detained and released after trying to end the resistance against the Venezuelan leader.

In July, he called for “Kalashtin” resistance against his controversial re -election against Maduro.

Rumors for weeks have circulated on social networks that MacDo, who has gone into hiding, has been sheltering the US Embassy.

As Venezuela’s most famous politician, MacDo accepted to take a political back set and launched a tireless campaign on the belt to replace his last minute: very few famous former diplomat Edmundo Gonzalez Arootia.

MacDo won the opposition primary in 2023 with 90 % of the vote, but Maduro’s loyal officials immediately disqualified it.

He accepted Gonzalez Aurotia’s hesitation candidate, with him and his light on the rallies.

Always dressed in white, she often appears in rallies with numerous beads in her throat: gifts from supporters.

As if he is a rock star, he runs a glimpse of a glimpse or touching it, holding children and children, and is profitable to help handwritten notes and baseball caps or flower gifts.

“C, See Pad!” (Yes, we can!), They shout slogans of rallies, go on the streets to get closer to the cavalry, roam the roofs for better sight, snatch cell phones and hoist Venezuela’s flags.

When Maduro claimed victory, the enthusiasm that spoke of the election day helped a lot.

The European Union and several countries have elected Gonzalez Arotia as Venezuelan president.

US strike

The announcement of the Nobel came when the United States rapidly attacked its coast in international waters, claiming that it was claimed to have worked against drug smugglers.

US military operations have killed at least 21 people in recent weeks.

Washington accused Maduro of leading a drug cartel, and he does not recognize it as a legitimate leader of the country.

In a joint video last month, MacDo and Gonzalez Arotia supported the US military pressure on the Maduro government as a “necessary move” towards “restoration of popular sovereignty in Venezuela”.

He accused Maduro’s government of “drugs, minerals, metals, weapons and humans of smuggling with many other crimes.”

Machado has said separately that Venezuela’s crimes group are “a real and growing threat to America’s security and stability.”

‘Take our kids home’

Unlike Gonzalez Arotia, who found exile in Spain after the post -election threats, MacDo chose to stay in Venezuela to guide the resistance from hiding.

He adopted unannounced pop and dagger plans on the back of the truck on the corner of the street before escaping on the back of the motorcycle to avoid arrest.

By training, an engineer born in Caracas, MacDo, headed to the head of the Association Summit (joining us) in 2002, and emphasizing the referendum to remember Maduro’s mentor, the late socialist leader Hugo Chavez.

He was accused of treason on a referendum call and received threats to kill him, forcing him to send his two young sons and daughter to stay abroad.

Preventing the running in 2023, MacDo was also banned from flying and it flown the country to launch a campaign for Gonzalez Arootia, which received enthusiasm speeches.

In recent years, Machado has promised to end the rapidly oppressive socialist rule through a severe economic crisis, which has led to about seven million people-about a quarter of the population-once the reason for migration from a prosperous petro state.

“We’re going to liberate the country and bring our children home.”

In October, MacDo and Gonzalez Arootia were awarded the European Union’s Human Rights Award for keeping justice, democracy and law rule the rule of law.
