During the 30-minute interaction, Mulino reiterated that he will continue to raise his voice with the entire democratic world to support the fight for truth and freedom in Venezuela. The Panamanian president asked Machado to take good care of herself and Edmundo González Urrutia, since Venezuela needs them.

According to Mulino, the Venezuelan leader confirmed that Urrutia will be president of Venezuela as of January 10, 2025 and has denounced the systematic violation of human rights by the regime. On previous occasions, Mulino has shown his solidarity with the South American country, arguing that the nation currently under the regime of Nicolas Maduro did a lot for Panama during the time of President Carlos Andrés Pérez and is now giving back in democracy to ensure that the disastrous experience that Panamanians lived through is not repeated in Venezuela. 

The proclamation of Nicolás Maduro as the winner of the general elections in Venezuela triggered protests throughout the country that left 27 dead, 192 injured and 2,400 arrested, including more than a hundred minors, although 86 teenagers have already been released under precautionary measures.  The Venezuelan president blames Machado and González for the violence and has called for both to be imprisoned.  Maduro also blamed WhatsApp for providing election results to the general public.
