— 🇻🇪/🇳🇴 NEW: 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner and Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, will not receive her Nobel Prize in person

Yesterday, the Nobel Institute canceled the press conference ahead of the award ceremony.

Her selection has been controversial due to her ties to the Israeli Likud party since at least 2018, advocating for American-Israeli military intervention against Venezuela, dedicating her prize to President Trump, and repeating American-Israeli talking points, such as Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas having a presence in Venezuela.

In late October, the Norwegian Peace Council canceled the annual torchlight procession in Oslo due to their disagreement with the selection of Machado.
