The Nobel Committee has just released a video of when they informed Machado that she won the prize, a few minutes before it was announced to the world.
Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, becomes emotional and his voice breaks as he informs the Venezuelan politician of the news.
“Oh my God,” is the response. Machado says it five times, before saying: “I have no words.”
Machado thanks the committee, and says emotionally it’s the “achievement of a whole society”.
“I am just one person. I certainly do not deserve this.”
Machado says she thinks it will take a while to believe the news, and thanks them for the “honour” again, in an emotional voice.
