María Corina Machado challenges the revolution by leading a protest in front of the Rodeo 1 prison

Brief message from our leader María Corina Machado! This Friday's scene is already part of the small story of the process that is heading towards the democratic transition in Venezuela.

One of the relatives of the political prisoners shouted the slogan to those waiting to be released behind the walls of the sinister Rodeo 1. And he got a response, like an echo that came from the bowels of hell.

The democratic leader arrived near the prison that houses military prisoners and those most feared by the Bolivarian revolution, including the Spanish-Venezuelan Fernando Noya. He did so at the head of a march of indomitable relatives who have been resisting for 302 days stationed near the prison.

"I am here with you, you are not alone! Freedom for all political prisoners, justice for the victims, reparation for the relatives, memory so that it never happens again, guarantees for justice and freedom. With God by the hand, until the end. Venezuela will be free forever," Machado shouted, megaphone in hand, with the resulting round of applause and a subsequent silence waiting for the torn voices inside the prison.

"Justice and freedom, justice and freedom!" was heard immediately, repeated, amid tears and shouts from those present.

The opposition leader read one by one the names of 406 political prisoners, who according to statistics from human rights organizations remain in different Chavismo prisons, now protected by Washington.

"I have no words to describe it, you have to be there to know it," summarized former political prisoner Rory Branker.

Despite the amnesty process forced by the United States, which has led to the release of about a thousand political prisoners, according to the figures of Chavismo 3.0 led by Delcy Rodríguez, the majority of military prisoners, family members and civilians who, according to the presidency in charge, have participated in violent events, still remain behind bars.

"We will not rest until the last civil or military political prisoner obtains full freedom. They are all," stressed Machado, who also demanded guarantees so that "this never happens again in Venezuela."
