María Corina Machado is a leader in Venezuela. She went to Oslo. This was her first time in public for a year. Her daughter took the Nobel Peace Prize for her. Machado came from Caracas. The government did not let her travel. She won the prize for democracy work.
Machado hid for eleven months. This was after an election. Many said the election was not fair. The government controlled the country more. They stopped people who disagreed. The winner of the election lives away. This shows problems for the opposition.
We do not know how Machado left Venezuela. It was a hard trip. Some say she went by sea. The weather might have been bad. She met friends in Norway. She had not seen her children for two years. They went away for safety.
Her daughter read her speech. It spoke of a good future. It said, "Venezuela will breathe again." It also said to free people. The Nobel Committee asked Venezuela to change.
This trip is good for the opposition. It shows Machado is strong. It also shows she can work under pressure. The world knows about problems in Venezuela. The government does not want to change.
