Ana Corina Sosa accepted the award on behalf of her mother and did a lecture written by her mother at the ceremony in Oslo City Hall.

Machado was awarded her prize for “her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy” by the Nobel Institute in Venezuela.

Machado went into hiding soon after Venezuela’s presidential election in July 2024.
