"We have found a person of my complete confidence, honorable, who has the respect of all those who have known her throughout her academic, professional and human life," announced María Corina Machado in a momentous moment for the fight for democracy in Venezuela, when the revolution prevents the opposition leader from heading the two opposition lists and narrows different paths to make this candidacy effective.
This is the philosopher Corina Yoris, academic, grandmother of seven grandchildren and member of the National Primary Committee who managed to carry out the internal opposition elections last year. "I thank María Corina, I feel proud, with the conviction that we are all of us who want to recover the country. Thank you for the trust and that we achieve the authorization of María Corina," said Corina Yoris in her first intervention, hugging Machado and backed by a group of opposition leaders.
Yoris has an enviable resume after 30 years of teaching. Currently he presides over the Venezuelan Society of Philosophy and is a member of the Inter-American Philosophy Network.
"We are going to fight this fight together, I am going to continue traveling throughout Venezuela. Here we go together, we are a great team," Machado said to the cheers of his followers.
Both the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) and Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT), the only two opposition groups that have managed, for the moment, to pass the sieve and purge of Chavismo, will proceed to nominate Yoris as the head of their electoral card. Neither investigations nor accusations fall on the philosopher, who also has a master's degree in Logic and Latin American Literature. On her social networks she defines herself as a "fighter for a democratic country."
