“Venezuela says it will close its embassy in Norway, just days after Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was announced the winner of the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. A Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson told the Reuters news agency that the Venezuelan embassy did not give a reason for shutting its doors for its decision on Monday. … Corina Machado, who has been in hiding since 2024, was declared the Nobel Peace Prize winner on Friday for her ‘extraordinary examples of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times.’ She was barred from standing in last year’s election [sic] in Venezuela, which was won [sic] by President Nicolas Maduro in a widely disputed result.” (10/14/25)
