Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize laureate, will not attend the award ceremony in Oslo due to her ongoing self-imposed exile and legal risks in her home country. The Nobel Institute confirmed that her daughter, Ana Corina Machado, will accept the prize and read a prepared statement on her behalf during Wednesday’s ceremony. Machado has remained in exile since August last year after clashing with President Nicolás Maduro’s government. Venezuela’s attorney general warned that the 58-year-old politician would be considered a fugitive if she left the country to collect the award, raising fears of arrest upon her return. The Nobel Institute’s director, Kristian Berg Harpviken, said he had no information about Machado’s current location. The ceremony, attended by leaders from Argentina and other Latin American nations, highlights the political tensions surrounding Venezuela’s disputed 2024 election. Western governments, including the United States, have questioned the legitimacy of Maduro’s victory and expressed support for Machado’s pro-democracy stance.
