Venezuelan opposition leader honored for her unwavering advocacy for democracy and human rights.

Oslo, Norway (Star Struck Times) — In a surprising turn of events, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, surpassing U.S. President Donald Trump, who had actively campaigned for the honor. The Norwegian Nobel Committee recognized Machado for her tireless efforts to promote democratic rights and facilitate a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy in Venezuela. Despite facing political persecution and being barred from running for office, Machado has remained a prominent figure in the opposition movement, advocating for free elections and human rights.

Machado, 58, has been living in hiding for over a year due to safety concerns. The Nobel Committee described her as a symbol of resistance and democratic resilience, praising her courage in the face of adversity. In her acceptance speech, delivered from an undisclosed location, Machado dedicated the award to the people of Venezuela and to President Trump, acknowledging his support for her cause.

The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Machado has sparked a range of reactions worldwide. While many have lauded the recognition as a victory for democracy, others have criticized the Nobel Committee’s choice. U.S. officials expressed disappointment, accusing the committee of politicizing the award. White House communications director Steven Cheung stated that the decision undermines the credibility of the Nobel Prize.

In contrast, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Trump’s peace efforts, particularly his initiatives in Gaza and Ukraine, despite the former president’s failure to secure the Nobel Peace Prize. Putin commended Trump’s diplomatic initiatives as significant steps toward resolving longstanding conflicts.

The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is scheduled to take place on December 10 in Oslo. However, it remains uncertain whether Machado will attend due to ongoing safety concerns. Her case joins a historical list of Nobel laureates unable to attend for political reasons.

As the world watches, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize serves as a reminder of the enduring struggle for democracy and human rights. Machado’s recognition highlights the importance of standing firm in the face of oppression and the global community’s role in supporting those who fight for freedom.
