María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner, made a dramatic escape from Venezuela after months in hiding, aided by U.S. support. Disguised and facing threats from the Maduro regime, Machado managed to reach Oslo to accept the award, while her daughter collected it on her behalf due to safety concerns. During her escape, Machado wore a wig and boarded a fishing skiff, acknowledging the risks involved in her journey. She praised the Trump administration for exerting pressure on Maduro, calling the actions decisive in facilitating her departure. Machado, upon her arrival in Norway, reiterated her commitment to return to Venezuela and vowed to continue the fight against tyranny, calling for international support against the Venezuelan government. Her escape and the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize have sparked both support and criticism, highlighting the ongoing political turmoil in Venezuela.
