The world looks to Oslo waiting for Machado to receive the Nobel Prize live
The organizers have said they can't tell at the moment when and how Machado will arrive at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.
The cancellation of the press conference that Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was due to hold this Tuesday in Oslo, on the eve of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize , has cast doubt on her attendance at the ceremony.
In principle, the Nobel Institute has postponed the appearance scheduled for 13:00 and has suspended it definitively several hours later due to Machado's difficulties in leaving Venezuela. "Maria Corina Machado herself has pointed out how difficult her trip to Oslo will be, so we cannot provide any further information at this time as to when and how she will arrive for the Nobel Peace Prize," the organization reported in a brief statement.
Machado himself confirmed to the Nobel Institute a few days ago that he was going to pick up the prize in the Norwegian capital. He made his first public appearance in January. Sister Clara Machado Parisca said in an interview with Colombian radio station Blu Radio that the aim of the Nobel Prize is "to be here with us" and that is why they expect "to arrive soon." In the Norwegian capital are also his mother, Corina Parisca, and his daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, and his two brothers at the ceremony tomorrow.
Likewise, numerous representatives of the Latin American right have travelled to Oslo to support the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, such as the presidents of Argentina, Paraguay and Panama.
Machado lives underground since he reported fraud in the presidential election in July last year. His last public appearance was in January, the day before Nicolas Maduro took office.
Norwegian institutional protests
Meanwhile, some 200 people took part this Tuesday in a rally led by halfa dozen Norwegian organizations against the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado. Under the slogan No Peace Prize for Warmongers and the United States outside Latin America , demonstrators have concentrated in front of the headquarters of the Nobel Institute in Oslo.
"Machado does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize should be given to someone who supports peaceful dialogue and brings people together," said Kari Anne Næss, president of the Norwegian peace association founded in 1885.
