Speaking in Oslo, Machado highlighted the misuse of Venezuela\u2019s oil wealth for repression and weapons rather than public welfare.

She fled Venezuela due to persecution and inability to safely travel at home. Political instability, election disputes, and foreign interventions have intensified the opposition\u2019s efforts to challenge Maduro, while international recognition, such as the Nobel Prize, amplifies her platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1565\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1074\">3.

Protecting human rights, ensuring accountability for misuse of state resources, and supporting peaceful transitions are crucial.
