It was Machado\u2019s first public appearance since January<\/a>, after spending months in hiding<\/a> in her home country. After arriving in Oslo, Machado met Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0joint press conference<\/a> Thursday morning, St\u00f8re praised the Nobel prize winner: \u201cI would like to salute you \u2026 for your struggle. It has cost you, your family and your people a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very hopeful Venezuela will be free. We will turn the country into a beacon of hope and opportunity of democracy,\u201d said Machado, who was seeing her family for the first time in 16 months. <\/p>\n

In 2023, she was disqualified from running for Venezuelan president<\/a> against authoritarian leader Nicol\u00e1s Maduro \u2014 prompting her to back candidate Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez, who lost to Maduro in an election that observers described as flawed<\/a>. Gonz\u00e1lez later fled the country<\/a> for Spain.<\/p>\n

Machado recently\u00a0praised<\/a>\u00a0Donald Trump for his stance against Venezuela\u2019s authoritarian government, after the U.S. president said Maduro\u2019s days in office were numbered.<\/p>\n

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Machado for her \u201ctireless work promoting democratic rights<\/a>\u00a0for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was Machado\u2019s first public appearance since January, after spending months in hiding in her home country.
