US EditionVenezuela's Machado will not receive Nobel Peace Prize in person, Nobel institute says
Machado remains in hiding due to a decade-long travel ban and criminal investigations; her daughter will accept the prize amid ongoing legal and security risks, Norwegian Nobel Institute said.
- On Wednesday, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado will be absent from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo, with her whereabouts unknown, while her daughter Ana Corina Sosa Machado accepts the prize.
- The ceremony starts at 1 p.m., when Maria Corina Machado had been due to appear but was prevented by a decade-long travel ban and more than a year in hiding.
- Machado, 58, was to be honoured at Oslo City Hall before King Harald of Norway, Queen Sonja of Norway, Argentine President Javier Milei and Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa; a close family member customarily receives the prize if laureates cannot attend and the ceremony still goes ahead.
- The Nobel Institute declined to immediately comment on Machado's absence, while Kristian Berg Harpviken said she 'is not in Norway' and when asked where she was he said `I don't know`.
- When she was announced as laureate in October, Maria Corina Machado dedicated the prize in part to Donald Trump, while President Nicolas Maduro says Trump seeks to overthrow him for Venezuela's oil.
