Maria corina machado in venezuela, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you very much, stephen. It s a pleasure to be with you again. It s great to talk to you. It s two months now since venezuelans voted in the presidential election. Just tell me what has happened to you since that vote. Well, our victory by a landslide was something the regime didn t expect.

It was a 70 over 30 victory, but if it had been a freer election, believe me, we would have won at least by 90 10. So this was a huge defeat for the regime. Maduro is naked in front of the whole world and his followers. So his decision was to get surrounded and entrenched around the top brass of the military and in fact, unleash terror. This has reached to thousands of venezuelans that have been detained, and everybody that was direct
