Venezuelan Democracy Activist María Corina Machado Wins Nobel Peace Prize
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub heading.
Machado congratulated by exiled opposition candidate
These are three introductory paragraphs, that add more details.
Edmundo González, who replaced Machado in running for leadership and was then sent into exile, congratulates his ally.
Machado threw her weight behind him during the lead up to last year’s elections.
In a post on X, González writes that the prize is “well-deserved recognition for the long struggle of a woman and of an entire people for our freedom and democracy”.
Reading the rest of the BBC article, she seems a very brave lady, who is summed up by this last paragraph.
She has been continuing to campaign from hiding and has refused to leave the country even though the Maduro government has repeatedly threatened her with arrest.
Let’s help the Nobel Peace Prize galvanises the world to back her against the corrupt dictator; Maduro.
