In Oslo, Norway, a group of Venezuelans publicly expressed their gratitude to the president of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, for the support his government has given to the democratic process led by opposition leader María Corina Machado, who is about to receive the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. The events took place outside the Grand Hotel Oslo, the venue for the ceremony, where Venezuelan journalists and citizens had gathered to wait for the Panamanian leader to emerge. Upon seeing him, the group responded with applause and slogans such as: 'Thank you, President' and 'Thank you, Panama,' recognizing the political support offered to the Venezuelan cause. Mulino stopped before the crowd, greeted them, and listened to the messages directed at Panama. He also reaffirmed his stance on the Venezuelan process and highlighted the significance of the prize awarded to Machado. 'I hope that all this resonance from the award will have an impact internally and they understand that there is no turning back here,' he declared. Panamanian support has been perceived by Venezuelan sectors as an important gesture on the international stage, especially at a time when the debate over democratic restoration in Venezuela continues.
