María Corina Machado said she got “support” from the United States to travel to Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize this week, but declined to elaborate.
“I cannot give details, because these are people that could be harmed,” Machado said of those who aided her travel. “Certainly, the regime would have done everything to prevent me from coming. They did not know where I was in hiding in Venezuela, so it was hard for them to stop me.”
Earlier, a representative from the Nobel committee said Machado had “undergone quite some strain” to get to Oslo.
