Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado bested 337 other nominees to win this year's Nobel Peace prize. The Nobel Prize Committee stated "she is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
The 58-year-old Nobel Prize winner has been in hiding since August 2024, fearing for her safety after threats from supporters of the dictatorship led by President Nicolás Maduro. She has refused to leave the country even though the Maduro government has repeatedly threatened her with arrest.
In the US, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) pronounced himself "greatly relieved that Trump did not win this award. He's already insufferable right now forcing Democrats to take the losing side of every political issue. If he had won the Nobel Prize I think my head would've exploded."
In her first remarks after winning, Corina Machado thanked the Committee and added "we are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!"

She is a brave woman. Despite president Trump being snubbed, he and she are on the same page. She even dedicated her prize to President Trump.
Don’t care. I am vocal, ineffective and against bad things and nobody even put me on the list for a Nobel.
Life is so unfair.
