María Corina Machado, winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, suffered a fractured vertebra during her risky departure from Venezuela to Oslo. The publication highlights that, according to its sources, the injury could have occurred amid the extreme conditions of the trip made on Monday, December 8, which included 'five hours by boat in bad weather conditions.' After this, Machado was evaluated at Ullevål University Hospital in Oslo, where the doctors in charge detected several injuries, including a fractured vertebra. Her health condition and the required treatment led Machado to extend her stay in Norway, pending medical recommendations for the case. A source with knowledge of the case consulted by Aftenposten assured that the vertebral fracture would not prevent her from returning to her country at a later stage. This was diagnosed after a medical evaluation in Oslo, her press team confirmed to CNN. This information was corroborated after the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten published a report on Machado's health condition.
In this regard, the article assures that 'she has every intention of returning to Venezuela' and at the same time 'will follow the recommendations that the doctors indicate.'
