By THE 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Venezuela’s opposition leader and democracy activist, Maria Corina Machado, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on Friday.
Machado was recognised “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,” said Jorgen Watne Frydnes, Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, in Oslo.
The award highlights Machado’s long-standing advocacy for human rights, free elections, and non-violent democratic reform in Venezuela, where she has faced repeated persecution and political exclusion for challenging President Nicolás Maduro’s government.
