“Venezuela's triumph will be the triumph of humanity.” That’s what María Corina Machado made clear during her speech at the Sakharov Prize award ceremony. Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader, and President-elect Edmundo González Urrutia are the 2024 laureates of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. They received their prize during a ceremony in Strasbourg. The Sakharov Prize honours individuals and groups who have dedicated their lives to defending human rights. | European Parliament
