US EditionMaría Corina Machado: The Woman Who Took on a Dictator—and Won the Nobel
- On Friday the Nobel Committee in Oslo awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, elevating her fight for democracy to the global stage.
- The Nobel Committee framed the award as recognition for advancing a `peaceful transition`, yet María Corina Machado appealed to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, to lead an invasion and urged the US to launch regime change.
- Machado's record shows she has helped lead failed coups and riots, and after being barred from the 2024 election, she appointed Edmundo González Urrutia, whose win triggered a regime crackdown.

- The timing of the award coincided so soon after Trump’s deal between Israel and Hamas, prompting questions about snubbing President Donald Trump while María Corina Machado aligned with him this year.
