President Javier Milei embarked on an official trip to Oslo, the capital of Norway, on Monday evening with a clear political purpose: to accompany María Corina Machado, founder of Vente Venezuela and a central figure in the opposition to the government of Nicolás Maduro, to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. According to the Argentine News Agency, the flight departed from Ezeiza Airport after 8:00 PM on Monday, with an expected arrival in Norway on Tuesday afternoon, as scheduled. The award ceremony for Machado will take place at 9:00 AM on Wednesday at Oslo City Hall. This event will have a strong Latin American presence, as in addition to Milei, the presidents of Paraguay (Santiago Peña), Panama (José Raúl Mulino), and Ecuador (Daniel Noboa) have confirmed their attendance. Following the Nobel ceremony, the Argentine president will have a tight bilateral agenda: 11:30 AM: Interview with King of Norway, Harald V. 1:10 PM: Meeting with the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October for her 'indefatigable work in the struggle to restore democracy in Venezuela'. Milei's presence is a strong show of support for her struggle, which, according to Machado, forces her to live 'in hiding in her own country'. The president's return to Buenos Aires is scheduled for Wednesday at 4:00 PM Oslo time, arriving in the country on Thursday at 9:30 AM.
