World20:17, 10-10-2025

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Venezuelan opposition politician Maria Corina Machado, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The award was given to her for her tireless efforts to promote democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and her struggle for a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy. The Nobel Committee recognized Maria Machado as a shining example of civic courage in Latin America.

In recent years, Maria Machado has played a key role in uniting the country's opposition. She created a unified platform for holding free elections and establishing a representative government.

These actions were regarded as fundamental pillars of democracy. The Nobel Committee valued her work as a symbol of peaceful struggle and political courage.

Additionally, former US President Donald Trump had been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize. However, the 2025 award focused on civil struggle and democratic movements.

The Nobel Committee has historically honored individuals who have fought against oppression with hope and determination. This year's selection was also based on a high appreciation of such values.
