Venezuelan opposition leader and 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado was injured while traveling to Norway to attend the award ceremony, her spokesperson confirmed to AFP on Monday. Machado reportedly suffered a spinal injury after an accident occurred as she crossed rough seas in a small fishing vessel on her way to Oslo. She was treated at Oslo University Hospital’s Ullevål facility, though details of her condition remain undisclosed.
Due to the incident, the 58-year-old politician missed the official Nobel Peace Prize presentation. Despite her injuries, she greeted supporters upon arriving in Oslo. Machado, a prominent critic of President Nicolás Maduro, had previously accused the Venezuelan government of electoral fraud in the 2024 elections, from which she was barred. She had been in hiding since August 2024.
Observers note that the accident underscores the personal risks faced by opposition figures in Venezuela. Machado’s recovery and subsequent political activities are expected to draw international attention in the coming weeks.
