Overview

  • Nobel Institute head Kristian Berg Harpviken said Maria Corina Machado confirmed she will be in Oslo for the ceremony after speaking with her Friday night.
  • Organizers will not disclose the timing or route of her arrival because of security concerns, with Harpviken noting on NRK that nothing is ever 100 percent certain.
  • The formal Nobel Peace Prize handover is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 10, in Oslo.
  • Attorney General Tarek William Saab stated last month that Machado would be considered a fugitive if she travels to accept the award.
  • Machado has been in hiding since August 2024 as opposition activity waned following about 2,400 protest arrests after Maduro’s contested July 2024 reelection, which she says was stolen and which barred her from running.
