The Norwegian Nobel Institute has awarded Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
"I have no words. Thank you so much, but I hope you understand this is a movement. This is an achievement of a whole society. I am just one person," Machado told Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, during the call announcing her win on Friday.
