Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize Arrival in Oslo: Uncertainty and Delays
Table of Contents
The morning dawned cold and gray this Tuesday in Oslo. The same question hung in the air: has Maria Corina Machado arrived? Nobody confirmed the news around her: not her mother, not her children, all staying at the Grand Hotel.
the press conference, scheduled for 1:00 p.m., was postponed through an email from the organization around 9:30 a.m., without determining a new time. At the moment, they have not offered any further information.
Uncertainty thus takes over in the last hours of Oslo, after the director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute announced last Saturday that the opposition leader would travel to Oslo to collect the award. Now all information regarding its possible landing remains entirely silent.
The Situation at the Grand Hotel
At the entrance to the hotel you see police, few journalists and there is no shortage of curious onlookers asking who they are – we are – waiting for. Some Venezuelans attracted by the arrival of the nobel Peace Prize winner are also present.
Political Context: Panama and the 2024 Elections
The president of Panama, José raúl Mulino, responded to this special envoy, at the door of the hotel in the Norwegian capital, to the question of whether María Corina Machado has arrived yet: “I don’t know, but she will arrive, I’m sure.”
Panama is the country that houses the minutes of the 2024 presidential elections that the opposition candidate Edmundo González won, a result that the Maduro regime did not recognise. This adds a layer of political significance to Machado’s potential arrival and the recognition of the democratic process in Venezuela.
Planned Protest
While waiting for the press conference to be called again, a protest against the torch march is planned this afternoon in front of the Nobel Institute. This march, which runs through the center of the Norwegian capital, will be led by the organization.
