Global Gatherings Celebrate Machado's Nobel Peace Prize Amid Venezuela Tensions

Supporters of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado held worldwide demonstrations to celebrate her Nobel Peace Prize win. The gatherings emphasized Venezuela's democratic aspirations and took place amid political tensions, with heightened military presence in the Caribbean and government actions against the opposition.

Supporters of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado demonstrated across various global cities on Saturday, celebrating her Nobel Peace Prize win ahead of next week's award ceremony.

Concentrated in over 80 cities, including Madrid, Utrecht, and Buenos Aires, demonstrators aimed to use the acclaim to draw attention to Venezuela's struggles for democracy.

The political climate in Venezuela remains tense. The U.S. administration's increased military presence in the Caribbean and subsequent government actions contribute to an atmosphere of volatility.
