Event Summary

María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her peaceful challenge to Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian government. After months in hiding, she emerged in Norway — Oslo, Norway, hours after her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, accepted the prize on her behalf. Machado used the occasion to urge Venezuelans to fight for freedom against 'state terrorism' and denounced kidnappings and torture under Nicolás Maduro's rule. Her win was announced on October 10, recognizing her struggle for a democratic transition in Venezuela. The event also saw prominent Latin American figures, including Javier Milei, Daniel Noboa, José Raúl Mulino, and Santiago Peña, attend in solidarity. The situation is further complicated by a US military build-up in the Caribbean, which Donald Trump supports and Nicolás Maduro views as an attempt to seize Venezuela's oil reserves. Edmundo González, who replaced María Corina Machado as the opposition candidate after she was barred from running, also attended the ceremony.
