The Nobel Institute has cancelled a press conference with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, raising questions about her whereabouts and ability to attend the Peace Prize ceremony. Named a "fugitive" by Venezuela's government, Machado's potential appearance in Oslo creates significant challenges for her future leadership role, while international figures gather to support the democratic advocate whose last public appearance was in January 2024.
