Machado Misses Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, but Vows to Visit Oslo
The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who had been living in hiding for more than a year, told the Nobel committee that she was on her way to Oslo after missing the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.

“I am very sad and very sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to arrive in time for the ceremony. But I will be in Oslo. I’m on my way to Oslo right now.” “During the past 16 months in clandestinity, we have built new networks of civic pressure and disciplined disobedience, preparing for Venezuela’s orderly transition to democracy. What we Venezuelans can offer the world is the lesson, forged through this long and difficult journey, that to have democracy, we must be willing to fight for freedom.”
