A group of five Cuban activists participated this Friday in Madrid in an emotional meeting with the Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize 2025, held at the national headquarters of the Partido Popular on Génova Street.
The event, primarily organized for the Venezuelan diaspora, was attended by the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and the deputy Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, a personal friend of Machado, who arrived at the headquarters around 11:00 in the morning in a black van and was greeted by Feijóo with a loud "¡Valiente!".
The Cubans present were Amelia Calzadilla, program coordinator for the organization Citizenship and Freedom, along with Yoelkis Torres Tápanes, Lázaro Mireles, Magdiel Jorge Castro, and Mario Sergio Viamontes.
"It was a gathering organized at the headquarters of the National Popular Party here in Madrid... a segment of the Venezuelan diaspora was invited along with some political representatives. I had the immense honor of greeting María Corina Machado," recounted one of the Cuban participants.
During the event, Feijóo reaffirmed the PP's support for the Venezuelan democratic cause and positioned himself with democracy and not with the hidden dictatorship, referring to Pedro Sánchez's government and its stance towards Nicolás Maduro's regime.
Machado's visit to Madrid also included other institutional events, including the presentation of the Gold Key of the Town Hall at the Casa de la Villa, a symbolic recognition of her fight for freedom in Venezuela.
The opposition leader has reiterated on multiple occasions her commitment to the democratic cause beyond Venezuelan borders, assuring that once we liberate Venezuela, we will continue working for freedom throughout the region.
The day concluded with a mass gathering of the Venezuelan diaspora at Puerta del Sol, where Machado addressed thousands of compatriots gathered to express their support for the fight for democracy in Venezuela.
