Democracy requires a free press, democracy brings peace

It is thrilling that pro-democracy opposition leader, Marina Corina Machado of Venezuela won the Nobel Peace Prize, for standing up for democracy!

And, she’s a woman.

I cannot help but think the Nobel Committee is sending a message to the world as it turns more authoritarian and more to radical right ideologies…. and to Trump. Machado built a powerful social movement challenging the country’s authoritarian president, and has been living in hiding since last year. The committee said she received the Peace Prize recognition for…

“her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

@usatoday#MaríaCorinaMachado won the #NobelPeacePrize for her fight for democracy in #Venezuela.
