Venezuela opposition leader Machado vows to return home with Nobel Peace Prize

After spending more than a year in hiding, she gave multiple interviews and received cheers from a crowd of Venezuelan expats outside her hotel. "Well, for over 16 months, I haven't been able to hug or touch anyone. So it certainly has been, an, very profound sentiment, suddenly in a matter of few hours, to be able to see the people that I love most and their eyes and touch them and cry together and pray together,” she said. Machado had been forced into hiding shortly after Venezuelan authorities expanded arrests of opposition figures following her landslide victory in her party’s primary. Despite the risks, she confirmed she would return to her home country, "Of course I'm going back to Venezuela. The Venezuelan government would disappear me if they found me when I was in Venezuela. And I know exactly the risks I'm taking."
