Milan, Jan. 3 (LaPresse) – "Venezuelans, the time for freedom has arrived! Nicolás Maduro now faces international justice for the atrocious crimes committed against Venezuelans and citizens of many other nations. Given his refusal to accept a negotiated solution, the U.S. government has kept its promise to enforce the law." This was stated in a note by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. "The time has come for popular and national sovereignty to prevail in our country. We will restore order, free political prisoners, build an exceptional nation, and bring our children home. We have fought for years, given our all, and it has been worth it. What had to happen is happening," she added, "this is the moment for the citizens. For us who risked everything for democracy on July 28. For us who elected Edmundo González Urrutia as the legitimate President of Venezuela, who must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognized as Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces by all the officers and soldiers who compose them."
