In what sense? Here is present a movement that embodies an entire people who clamor for their freedom,\" Duque pointed out to several media outlets, including EFE, at the Grand Hotel in Oslo before the Nobel ceremony.\n\nDuke said he was able to greet Machado's daughter, her sisters, and many of the leaders \"of the democratic resistance who are all over the world and who come here to Oslo to support that great heroine, but also to raise the voice of this cause.\"\n\n\n
