Maria Corina Machado’s studies
Maria Corina Machado is a Venezuelan engineer, social worker and famous politician. He studied engineering and finance and started his career in the business world, but soon he chose the path of social service and politics so that he could bring change in the lives of the people of his country.
Beginning of public service and Atenea Foundation

Sumate Organization and the fight for democracy
In 2002, he co-founded Súmate, an organization that works for free and fair elections. This organization trains voters and monitors the election process. Her popularity increased when she was elected a member of the Venezuelan National Assembly with a record number of votes in 2010, but in 2014, the government removed her from her post for raising her voice for democracy and freedom. This move made Machado a symbol of democracy in the country and around the world.

Maria Corina Machado is a prominent leader of the opposition party Vente Venezuela. In 2017, he helped found a coalition called Soy Venezuela, which aimed to unite all pro-democracy groups and work towards political change.
2024 elections and Machado’s candidacy
In 2023, he announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, but the government barred him from contesting the election. Despite this, he supported the opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who became a symbol of solidarity and change among the public.
Democracy fight and peaceful movement
When the Venezuelan government claimed victory, Machado and the opposition parties tried to prove through systematic documentation that the real winner was the opposition. He continued his fight in a peaceful and democratic manner. The international community called it an example of courage and restraint.

The Nobel Committee said in its statement that Maria Corina Machado showed that democracy is not just the right to vote, but it is a constant determination to defend freedom and truth.
