Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her "tireless work promoting democratic rights" in her country. The Nobel Committee cited Machado's unwavering efforts to advocate for free and fair elections, as well as her role in championing civil liberties and human rights in the face of a repressive government. Machado, a prominent figure in Venezuela's opposition movement, has faced persecution and harassment for her vocal criticism of the Maduro regime. Despite the challenges, she has remained steadfast in her commitment to democratic values and the wellbeing of the Venezuelan people. The award is seen as a significant recognition of Machado's bravery and the ongoing struggle for democracy in Venezuela. It is also a message of support for the Venezuelan opposition and a call for the international community to continue their efforts in addressing the country's political and humanitarian crisis.
