Venezuelan opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado appeared in Oslo, Norway, after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, waving from the balcony of the Grand Hotel after months in hiding.<\/p>\n

Machado made the covert journey despite a travel ban, and has mostly laid low since Venezuela’s disputed presidential election in 2024. She last appeared in public in January.<\/p>\n

From the balcony on Wednesday with a crowd cheering below, Machado placed her hand on her heart and sang with her supporters, before walking outside to greet them in person.<\/p>\n

Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, accepted the award on her mother’s behalf <\/a>earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Nobel Institute awarded Machado the Peace Prize this year for “her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy” in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Machado went outside to greet her supporters, who waited behind metal barricades on the street.<\/p>\n

“Maria!” “Maria, here!” they shouted in Spanish, as many held their phones aloft to record the historic moment.<\/p>\n

At one point, Machado climbed over the barriers to join them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Her appearance was preceded by speculation that she would travel to Norway for the award ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Nobel committee shared audio of Machado declaring, “I will be in Oslo, I am on my way.”<\/p>\n

After her Peace Prize win, Machado made a point to praise US President Donald Trump, who is open about his own ambitions for the Peace Prize and is locked in ongoing military tension with Venezuela.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Trump announced the US military had seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. <\/a>His administration alleges the vessel was under sanction and was involved in an “illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organisations”.<\/p>\n

The Venezuelan government accused the US of theft and piracy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
