Who Is Maria Corina Machado, the Nobel Peace Prize Winner?

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado plans to accept her award in Oslo, leveraging the international platform to bolster her campaign against Venezuela's government.

  • Earlier this year María Corina Machado announced she will travel to Oslo, Norway, to personally receive the Nobel Peace Prize with family and supporters despite political uncertainty.
  • Operating clandestinely, Machado went underground after last summer's elections and justified her absence by saying she would return `when political conditions dictate`, issuing two proclamations for democratic transition.
  • On July 30 in Caracas, Machado and González Urrutia addressed supporters amid peak tensions after opposition teams scanned 80% of withheld tally sheets showing González Urrutia won by a wide margin.
  • The Maduro government responded by deploying security forces and the FANB high command, denounced an overseas conspiracy placing Machado at the center, and Attorney General Tarek William Saab reported 1,062 arrests in two days.
  • Machado added Donald Trump Jr. as an ally in February 2025 to press for U.S. action, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. forces intensified pressure with operations and diplomatic support.
