Description

The daughter of María Corina Machado, the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, has said her mother is determined to live in a free Venezuela and would "never give up on that purpose" as she accepted her mother's award. Machado went into hiding shortly after Venezuela's disputed presidential election in July 2024. The Venezuelan opposition leader was "safe" and will travel to Oslo, the Nobel Institute said, but was unable to make the awards ceremony scheduled for 12:00 GMT on Wednesday. Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, accepted the award on her mother's behalf and delivered a lecture written by her at the ceremony in Oslo's City Hall.
