The daughter of María Corina Machado, the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, has accepted the award on her mother's behalf and delivered a lecture written by her. The Venezuelan opposition leader was "safe" and in Oslo, but was unable to make the awards ceremony. Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, told the audience at Oslo's City Hall that her mother was determined to live in a free Venezuela and would "never give up on that purpose". The Nobel Institute awarded Machado the prize for "her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" in her home country. n18oc_crux | n18oc_world
