The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to opposition Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado.
This award was given to him "for his tireless work in promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and his struggle for a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
The committee recognized it as one of the brightest examples of civic courage in Latin America.
In recent years, Maria Machado has been portrayed as the person who managed to unite the country's opposition and create a unified platform for demanding free elections and a representative government.
These actions were assessed as one of the cornerstones of democracy.
The Nobel Committee valued his work as a symbol of peaceful struggle and political courage.
As a reminder, US President Donald Trump has also repeatedly nominated himself for the Nobel Peace Prize.
However, this year's award focused on civil struggle and democratic movements.
The Committee has historically honored individuals who have fought against oppression and haven't lost hope.
