Mulino took a moment to greet and respond to the applause and congratulations from Venezuelans and journalists shouting: 'Thank you, President', 'Thank you, Panama', affirming that without a doubt, this is the moment for Venezuelans to regain their freedom. For Mulino, the recognition of the Nobel Peace Prize for Machado is a huge symbol that 'the stars are aligning' for Venezuela's freedom. Dozens of Venezuelan journalists and citizens gathered outside the Grand Hotel Oslo publicly expressed their gratitude for the support President Mulino has given to the cause led by Machado to restore democracy in Panama. 'I hope that all this resonance from the prize will have an internal impact and [Venezuelans] understand that there is no turning back here,' Mulino stated.
