In December 2025, opposition leader María Corina Machado addressed the situation in Venezuela during the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo, Norway, where she received the award alongside fellow opposition leader Edmundo González. Machado credited U. S. President Donald Trump for weakening dictator Nicolás Maduro's regime, indicating that his actions have been crucial in the fight against oppression in Venezuela.
Machado argued that Venezuela had already been "invaded" by foreign agents and terrorist groups under Maduro's leadership, creating a climate of crime and violence. She highlighted the funding sources of the regime’s repression, including drug trafficking and black market oil sales, stressing the need to stop these flows to end the dictatorship.
Following Maduro’s ousting, Machado proclaimed, “the time for freedom has arrived” and declared readiness to restore order, free political prisoners, and improve the country. She expressed optimism about the future and mentioned the possibility of working with the nation’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, for a transition plan. The situation remains dynamic as further developments unfold.
