Venezue­lan op­po­si­tion leader María Co­ri­na Macha­do will miss the cer­e­mo­ny to award her the No­bel Peace Prize in Oslo on Wednes­day, the head of the Nor­we­gian No­bel In­sti­tute said.

Macha­do last ap­peared in pub­lic 11 months ago. No­bel In­sti­tute di­rec­tor Kris­t­ian Berg Harpviken told pub­lic broad­cast­er NRK the Venezue­lan op­po­si­tion leader’s daugh­ter will ac­cept the prize on Macha­do’s be­half. He lat­er told the broad­cast­er that Macha­do was ex­pect­ed in Oslo dur­ing the day — but “un­for­tu­nate­ly, she won’t ar­rive in time to at­tend to­day’s cer­e­mo­ny or oth­er events.”

“We con­firm that she will not at­tend the No­bel cer­e­mo­ny, but we are op­ti­mistic about her pres­ence on the rest of the day’s agen­da,” said Macha­do’s spokesper­son, Clau­dia Macero. She did not give in­for­ma­tion on Macha­do’s cur­rent lo­ca­tion.
