Maria Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader, has captured global attention after being awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her relentless fight to restore democracy and human rights in Venezuela. Speaking from hiding within her country, Machado dedicated the honor to the suffering Venezuelan people and to former U.S. President Donald Trump for what she described as his “decisive support” in their struggle against the Nicolas Maduro regime.
For more than two decades, Machado has been a leading voice against Maduro’s government, which she described as a “criminal narco-terrorist structure.” She revealed that Venezuela’s institutions, resources, and security systems have been taken over by a corrupt network responsible for mass poverty and the forced migration of millions of citizens.
After the opposition won last year’s presidential election under unfair conditions, Machado and her team were accused of terrorism. Thousands of volunteers were reportedly arrested or disappeared for defending the vote, while homes were marked with crosses in acts described by the United Nations as “state terrorism.”
Despite these dangers, Machado remains hopeful. She insists that Venezuela is closer than ever to freedom, claiming that more than 80% of the armed forces are now aligned with the people. “We are finally at the threshold of democracy,” she declared, adding that a united Venezuela is ready for peaceful transition.
Machado expressed gratitude for international support and reiterated her call for coordinated global action against criminal networks linked to Maduro’s regime. She maintains that Venezuela’s struggle is not only a national fight but a continental turning point that could inspire freedom across Latin America.
Her courage, resilience, and faith in her people continue to inspire millions who still believe in a free Venezuela.
