Venezuela's Machado to receive peace prize in Oslo: Nobel Institute
Maria Corina Machado will attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony despite Caracas labeling her a fugitive; over 2,400 opposition arrests have followed Venezuela's 2024 election, officials said.
- Maria Corina Machado confirmed she will travel to Oslo to receive her Nobel Peace Prize at the Dec. 10 ceremony, the Nobel Institute said on December 6, 2025.
- Machado, in hiding since August 2024, has said opposition activists in Venezuela have been muted after 2,400 arrests following Nicolas Maduro, President of Venezuela's contested re-election.
- Harpviken said, `I was in contact with Machado last night and she confirms that she will be in Oslo for the ceremony`, but the Nobel Institute cannot disclose arrival details due to security.
- Venezuela's attorney-general Tarek William Saab warned Machado would be considered a "fugitive" if she travels to Norway and accused her of conspiracy, incitement of hatred, and terrorism.
- Her stance aligns with increased US military activity in the region, as Machado dedicated the prize to the suffering Venezuelan people and praised US President Trump's decisive support amid strikes on alleged drug boats.
