Description

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize—but she was absent from the ceremony in Norway. She's been in hiding, for fear of arrest by the Maduro government. Many Venezuelans see Machado as a symbol of democracy. But her alignment with US President Donald Trump has stirred controversy.
