Venezuelan opposition leader MarĂa Corina Machado traveled to Oslo, Norway, to receive her Nobel Peace Prize. This marks her first public appearance since January, having not been seen publicly for several months prior to this trip.
Machado, 58, undertook the journey despite an existing travel ban imposed by the Venezuelan government. The government had also issued warnings that she would be designated a fugitive.
In an interview with the BBC, Machado acknowledged the risks associated with her travel. She stated that the Venezuelan government has labeled her as a "terrorist" and indicated intentions to imprison her. She characterized her departure from Venezuela under these conditions as "very, very dangerous."
