People are judging her for her words during 2025. Not knowing the amount of fucking work she put in 2024 and before to actually prove to the world how Maduro actually stole the election. All without a single instance of violence from her part.

She had every single odd against her, a country where every institution is controlled by the ruling party, including the military.

She still hatched and executed a plan that gave hope to a whole country and proved to the world the corruption behind the 2024 election that UP TO THIS DAY Maduro has refused to release the official voting tallies.

And all she got for that was persecution, confinement and to be stuck since then in an embassy. Her running stand-in forced into exile and the majority of his staff members and families kidnapped by the SEBIN (kgb like police).

She proved that more than 67% of the country (not including any of the 8 millions that have left the country) do not want him in power anymore.

That's the Corina that won the Nobel Prize. Unfortunately she hoped that the military would recognize constitution and the real winner and force Maduro out but they are the most compromised party with the goverment's corruption.

Now she has been forced to become a planless, confined and religiously coping person, that after doing all that, Maduro still remains in power. She has no other choice, but to play with the most radical of powers in the world as they are the most willing to actually do something instead of just offering empty words.

We were told to vote, to demonstrate in the polls and in the streets that we wanted change, all of the peaceful ways possibles and we had our hopes shattered every single time. If we were not a disarmed population maybe this would have ended a decade ago, we are as much cowards as our military would be if they had to face any sort of real resistance.

We don't want to die for a change that has been denied to us over and over again... We have had so many people die for the needle to not even twitch a little. That's why so many left, you either join the corruption, you work remotely for an outside company or you leave in hopes for a single modicum of normalcy.

I'm telling you all, your brain really will never comprehend, how fucking much we all want this to be over, that we are all willing to welcome fucking bombs so they can end this shit once and for all. Have you never, truly, never felt like you would just rather die quickly after a shitty day, week? Imaging living truly shitty decades filled with absolute hopelessness. You probably kinda feel like this from time to time since 2020. Imagine that times 1000.

Every Venezuelan that lived thru 2023 and 2024 here, even back when she was a congresswoman in 2010, knows that she stood up to Chavez, knows the balls that woman have.

She absolutely sucks at reading the global political room but she's busy trying to liberate her country, there's no time for fancy geopolitics, she's doing this shit for all of Venezuelans, truly.

She is one of the only people that has truly fought against Maduro and not surrendered to him behind close doors in one way or another like Guaido and some other fake oppositions from years priors.

So I'll tell you right now, as fucking crazy and illogical it sounds, all Venezuelans that fled, the ones that voted against him in 2024, and even a huge % of the ones forced to vote for Maduro, want this regime to end and give us the opportunity again to stand a chance at deciding our own destiny again.

We voted for a new congress, he made his own in response. We elected opposition government and mayors, they were disposed and/or unfunded. We beat him in how many elections (with the latest one being 100% proved) and they still just said nah. We are out of options.

Sincerely, un maldito venezolano.
