4:55Now PlayingMaria Corina Machado, this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner, is a 58-year-old Venezuelan opposition activist and industrial engineer who lives in hiding.
In 1992, she founded the Atenea Foundation to benefit street children in Caracas. Ten years later, she co-founded Sumate, an organization that promotes free and fair elections and conducts training and election monitoring.
In 2010, Machado won a record number of votes and was elected to the National Assembly. The regime expelled her from office in 2014.
She leads the Vente Venezuela opposition party and, in 2017, helped found the Soy Venezuela alliance, uniting pro-democracy forces across political divides in the country.
In 2023, Machado announced her candidacy for president in the 2024 presidential election. However, in 2024, Venezuela's courts blocked her from running for president and challenging President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in power since 2013.
