María Corina Machado, The Woman Who Stole Donald Trump's Nobel Prize (María Corina Machado, La Mujer que le Quitó el Nobel a Donald Trump)

Unless you've missed a lot of the recent news, you'll probably have heard about María Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize award, and how US President Donald Trump soon became the recipient of her winning medal... but what is the backstory behind all of this? Too much has been spoken about Venezuela from sides that are extremely politically driven (on both sides of the spectrum), but who really is María Corina Machado? And what did she do to earn her Nobel Prize? In this week's episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, we dive into her political journey, why her efforts have mattered so much, how she fought a literal dictatorship without violence, and how she ended up "stealing" Donald Trump's Peace Prize before generously donating it. Enjoy the episode! Transcript of this episode is available at: https://podcast.lingomastery.com/listen/5099
