Venezuela: Nobel Laureate M.C. Machado Delivers a Message of Hope to Her Country.

Machado defied a decade-long travel ban and hiding to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, pledging to return the honor to Venezuela despite ongoing political repression.

  • On Dec 11, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado arrived in Oslo, saying she planned to take the prize back to Venezuela but declined to give a return date.
  • Machado secretly left Venezuela in defiance of a decade-long travel ban after spending more than a year in hiding following expanded arrests by Venezuelan authorities.
  • After her late-night arrival, she greeted supporters gathered in the cold from the Grand Hotel, Oslo balcony and later climbed barriers to hug them, with a press conference set for Thursday with Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre.
  • Machado's alignment with hawks close to Trump intersects with rising U.S.-Venezuela tensions, including a sanctioned oil tanker seized on Wednesday, escalating geopolitical strains.
  • The electoral authority and top court declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner, while opposition and international observers say its candidate won and Machado was barred last year despite winning the opposition primary.
