She is also critical of some opposition parties she believes have capitulated to the regime. Her party, Vente Venezuela, for example, is not part of the Plataforma Unitaria coalition that has engaged in dialogues with the Chavista government. <\/p>\n\n<p>With an anti-communist platform that has helped her gain many followers among the Venezuelan diaspora, she promotes what she calls \u201cpopular capitalism,\u201d advocating, among other things, respect for private property, a reduced bureaucratic apparatus, and minimal state intervention in the economy.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2024, she received the V\u00e1clav Havel Prize from the Council of Europe for \u201cdenouncing human rights abuses in her country and defending democracy.\u201d Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, accepted the award on her behalf, as Machado remains in hiding after denouncing electoral fraud in the July 28, 2024, presidential elections. <\/p>\n\n<p>That same year, Venezuela\u2019s democratic opposition, represented by Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia and Machado, won the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, awarded annually by the European Parliament for exceptional contributions to human rights.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>Machado was born in Caracas on October 7, 1967. Her father, Henrique Machado, was a prominent entrepreneur in the metallurgical sector, and the family\u2019s businesses were expropriated under the Chavista administration. <\/p>\n\n<p>Mar\u00eda Corina Machado holds a degree in industrial engineering from the Universidad Cat\u00f3lica Andr\u00e9s Bello and a diploma in finance from the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Administraci\u00f3n. She also served as a professor in the university\u2019s industrial engineering school.<\/p>\n\n<p>She has played a prominent role in Venezuelan civil society organizations. Alongside her mother, she co-founded the Fundaci\u00f3n Atenea, which works to reintegrate at-risk children, and Oportuninas, which she led from 1998 to 2002, providing assistance to children from families in extreme poverty. <\/p>\n\n<p>In 2002, she co-founded S\u00famate, an organization dedicated to defending citizens\u2019 political rights.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-su-vida-como-opositora\">Her Life as an Opposition Leader<\/h2>\n\n<p>As an opponent of Ch\u00e1vez, Machado met with then-U.S. President George W. Bush at the White House in 2005, which drew sharp criticism from the Venezuelan government, accusing her of being at the service of the CIA.<\/p>\n\n<p>In February 2010, she resigned as president of S\u00famate to run in the September elections, winning a seat in the National Assembly representing Miranda state with the highest number of votes. <\/p>\n\n<p>In 2011, she ran in the opposition primaries of the Mesa de la Unidad Democr\u00e1tica (MUD) against Henrique Capriles, losing the nomination in 2012. That same year, she founded the center-liberal party Vente Venezuela. <\/p>\n\n<p>During her time in office, she became known for her strong opposition to Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, famously declaring in 2012, \u201cExpropriating is stealing,\u201d interrupting one of his speeches.<\/p>\n\n<p>In February 2014, she led, alongside Leopoldo L\u00f3pez and Antonio Ledezma, a campaign called \u201cLa Salida,\u201d which called for protests aimed at ousting Maduro, who had just taken office after Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n<p>In March 2014, she was removed from her parliamentary seat after then-Speaker Diosdado Cabello accused her of violating the Constitution by accepting a role as Panama\u2019s alternate representative to the Organization of American States (OAS).<\/p>\n\n<p>That same year, she was charged with public incitement over violent events during February\u2019s anti-government protests, barred from leaving the country, and accused of \u201cconspiracy\u201d in an alleged plot to assassinate President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chavismo-la-inhabilita-para-cargos-publicos\">Chavismo Bars Her from Public Office<\/h2>\n\n<p>In 2015, Venezuela\u2019s Comptroller General barred Machado from holding any public office for one year, citing her failure to include certain labor-related items in her sworn asset declaration. As a result, she could not run for deputy that year.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2022, she confirmed her participation in the anti-Chavista primary elections scheduled for October 2023. She registered her candidacy in June 2023, but a week later the Comptroller General extended her previous 2015 disqualification to 15 years\u2014until 2030\u2014a decision condemned by both her electoral rivals and international actors, including the OAS, the U.S., and the EU.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p>Machado maintained her candidacy and won the October 22 primaries with 92.3% of the vote, although the Supreme Court declared the vote \u201csuspended\u201d a week later.<\/p>\n\n<p>On November 30, 2023, the Venezuelan government opened a process to allow anti-Chavistas to be reinstated, and in December Machado requested a review of her case by the Supreme Court. However, on January 26, 2024, the high court upheld her 15-year disqualification.<\/p>\n\n<p>Machado ceded her spot to historian Corina Yoris, who was unable to register her candidacy due to electoral authority restrictions. The main anti-Chavista coalition, Plataforma Unitaria Democr\u00e1tica, provisionally put forward diplomat Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia, who was ultimately confirmed as the presidential candidate for the July 28 elections on April 19, with Machado\u2019s support. <\/p>\n\n<p><em>*With information from EFE.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venezuelan opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado is the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize \u201cfor her tireless work in promoting the democratic rights of the Venezuelan people and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,\u201d announced the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo on Friday, October 10, 2025.
