María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader driven into hiding since a disputed election last year, has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for keeping “the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
