Machado Reaches Oslo Hours After Missing Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony

The laureate traveled in secret after Venezuelan authorities warned they could label her a fugitive if she left the country.

Overview

  • María Corina Machado arrived in Oslo late Wednesday night and greeted supporters from a hotel balcony after the prize was awarded without her.
  • Ana Corina Sosa Machado accepted the medal and diploma at the Oslo ceremony on her mother’s behalf and delivered Machado’s prepared remarks.
  • The Norwegian Nobel Institute said Machado is safe and described her trip as a journey undertaken under extreme danger.
  • Reuters reporting, cited by multiple outlets, said she left Venezuela by boat to Curaçao before flying by private plane to Norway.
  • Several Latin American presidents, including Argentina’s Javier Milei and Ecuador’s Daniel Noboa, attended the ceremony as prosecutors in Caracas maintain investigations that could expose Machado to arrest or a bar on re-entry.
