Event Summary

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote democracy, is unable to attend the award ceremony in Norway — Oslo, Norway. She has been in hiding in Venezuela since the 2024 election, which she claims Nicolás Maduro's government stole. Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Saab has declared María Corina Machado a 'fugitive' if she leaves the country, accusing her of conspiracy and terrorism. The Norwegian Nobel Institute canceled her scheduled press conference due to her uncertain whereabouts. Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, will accept the award on her behalf. This event underscores the ongoing political repression and human rights violations in Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro's regime, which is not recognized by many nations, including the United States. María Corina Machado has aligned herself with Donald Trump and supports the increased U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, viewing it as a necessary measure for the restoration of popular sovereignty in Venezuela.
