Maria Corina Machado arrived in Oslo early Thursday, hours after her daughter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf. Machado made a public appearance in Oslo for the first time in 11 months after spending more than a year in hiding. Reports say she left Venezuela clandestinely by boat and traveled via Curacao before flying to Norway. Machado was barred from running in the 2024 presidential election and went into hiding in August 2024 amid a crackdown on opposition figures. The Nobel committee confirmed her arrival and said she would meet family before speaking publicly. Machado said she was always working for the Venezuelan people and vowed to return without specifying a date.
