Nobel laureate and Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado confirmed she will travel to Norway next week to collect the honor, the head of the Nobel Institute told Agence France-Presse on Saturday. Machado, who has been living in hiding in Venezuela since the 2024 presidential election, has expressed interest in traveling to Oslo for the ceremony on Dec. 10. Known as Venezuela’s “Iron Lady,” the 58-year-old Machado has spent more than two decades leading a political movement challenging the country’s authoritarian leaders. Venezuela has been ruled by an autocratic regime for decades and is currently led by President Nicolas Maduro. Does Laureate deserve the nobel prize ?
