Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado is not in Norway, and will not be attending the ceremony where the prize is awarded in Oslo. This is what the director of the Nobel Institute, Kristian Berg Harpviken, tells NRK.
"So, unfortunately, she is not in Norway right now. And she will not be on the stage at Oslo City Hall at one o'clock today when the ceremony starts."
The plan was for Machado to manage to get to Oslo in time. Three generations of the Machado family were to be reunited in the capital after several years in exile in different countries.
Now, Machado's daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, will receive the prize on her mother's behalf.
