Venezuela says opposition leader will become fugitive if she collects Nobel
Venezuela’s government has issued a warning that opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, will be considered a fugitive of justice if she leaves the country to collect the Nobel Peace Prize. The threat comes after Machado was nominated for the prestigious award for her efforts in advocating for democracy and human rights in the country.
The government, led by President Nicolas Maduro, has accused Machado of conspiring against the state and has linked her to alleged coup attempts in the past. They argue that her departure to receive the Nobel Prize would be seen as an attempt to evade the legal process in Venezuela.
In response, Machado’s supporters have condemned the government’s statement, labeling it as a blatant attempt to intimidate and silence the opposition leader. They argue that Machado’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is a recognition of her tireless work towards promoting democratic values and defending human rights in Venezuela.
The situation has fueled further tensions in the already polarized political landscape of Venezuela, where the government and the opposition have been locked in a power struggle for years. The international community has been closely monitoring the developments, with human rights organizations expressing concerns over the shrinking space for political dissent in the country.
As of now, Machado has not publicly commented on the government’s warning, leaving her next steps uncertain in the face of the escalating situation.
