“Freedom is not something we wait for, but something we become”: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado’s daughter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway on her mother’s behalf Wednesday, and said in a speech written by Machado that Venezuela shows the world “we must be willing to fight for freedom.”

Machado, who went into hiding shortly after Venezuela’s disputed presidential election in July 2024, was unable to attend the event but said she was on her way to the Norwegian capital and would arrive soon to embrace her family for the first time in months. Machado, whose fight against the regime of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whom she, the U.S. and many other nations consider an illegitimate leader, has forced her to live in hiding, last appeared in public 11 months ago.

Organizers said Machado had “done everything in her power to attend today’s ceremony” but that “her journey involved extreme danger.” #venezuela #nobel #nobelprize #democracy #president
