Venezuela opposition leader Maria Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize
Maria is an industrial engineer by profession. The Nobel Peace Prize, worth $1.2 million, is due to be presented in Oslo on December 10 on the anniversary of the death of Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel, who founded the awards in his 1895 will.
Machado has long been a central figure in Venezuela’s pro-democracy movement, often facing repression and political bans under President Nicolás Maduro’s rule. Her recognition comes at a politically sensitive moment for Venezuela, which remains mired in economic hardship and political tension ahead of its 2025 elections.
Maria is receiving the prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
