Allies of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado announced on X over the past 59 minutes ending at 6:45 p.m. UTC on Dec. 10 that she will appear on the Nobel Balcony around midnight UTC tonight and speak from there, according to a post by @carlaangola relaying a message from Machado's daughter @anacorinasosa. The announcement includes plans for Machado to give a press conference in Norway this Thursday, as stated in a post marked 'BREAKING NEWS' by @AlbertoRodNews. Live broadcasts from Oslo captured supporters watching the traditional Torch March to the Grand Hotel, shared by @PabloHernandezB citing on-site reporter @quemalandrita under #TheNobelIsOurs. This development follows US officials' confirmation earlier on Dec. 10 that Machado escaped Venezuela by boat to Curacao, as reported to The Washington Post and shared on X by @AlertaNews24 in a prior window ending at 5:45 p.m. UTC. The escape occurred ahead of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, with allies citing assistance from some Maduro regime members per a Bloomberg report.
