Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado will miss the ceremony to award her the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on Wednesday, the head of the Norwegian Nobel Institute said.
Machado last appeared in public 11 months ago. Nobel Institute director Kristian Berg Harpviken told public broadcaster NRK the Venezuelan opposition leader was not in the Norwegian capital on the day of the ceremony, and her daughter will accept the prize on Machado’s behalf.
We confirm that she will not attend the Nobel ceremony, but we are optimistic about her presence on the rest of the day’s agenda, said Machado’s spokesperson, Claudia Macero. She did not give information on Machado’s current location.
Prominent Latin American figures planned to attend Wednesday’s ceremony in a signal of solidarity with Machado, including Argentine President Javier Milei, Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa, Panama’s President Jose Raul Mulino and Paraguayan President Santiago Pena.
