Machado has long been championed for her tireless fight for democracy in her country, with the Norwegian Nobel Committee announcing on X:
Machado, a politician and industrial engineer, has been a leading voice against President Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
Despite being banned from running for office and facing repeated threats, she has continued to push for democratic reforms and free elections in Venezuela. The award is expected to strengthen the opposition’s efforts, though it will likely provoke anger from Maduro’s government. The Nobel Prize ceremony is set for December 10 in Oslo, Norway.
