María Corina Machado wins the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for democracy in Venezuela despite her ties to the 2002 coup and support for U.S. sanctions. The Nobel Committee picked someone who supports war crimes over those who are fighting against them.

Turns out she has been on the Venezuelan political scene for quite some time.

October 10, 2025, María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize for ‘promoting democratic rights’. The Nobel committee congratulated her and praised her “tireless work” for democracy in Venezuela. Ironically, on April 11, 2002, Machado signed away democratic institutions in an attempt to overthrow a democratically elected government, and twenty-three years later, she is the flagbearer of Western democracy.

Pretty short article, worth a read.
