Nobel Peace Prize goes to Maria Corina Machado

Venezuelan opposition leader Mar?a Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for her struggle to achieve a democratic transition in the South American nation, winning recognition as a woman ?who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.? The former opposition presidential candidate is a ?key, unifying figure? in the once deeply divided opposition to President Nicol?s Maduro?s government, said J?rgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel committee.
