Taxpayers' Union congratulate Atlas Network Partner, Maria Corina Machado, for winning 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

The Taxpayers' Union congratulates fellow Atlas Network participant Maria Corina Machado for winning the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize over the weekend.

Taxpayers' Union Executive Director Jordan Williams said:

"Pro-freedom think tanks in Venezuela were among the very first Atlas Network partners in the early 1980s, promoting the ideas behind the movement for human rights and democratic norms in Venezuela that inspire the country's residents to this day. Machado has tirelessly strived to promote democracy and fight dictatorship in her country."

"Although Machado's involvement in Atlas predates mine, she was heavily involved in Atlas Network at about the same time as New Zealand's now Deputy Prime Minister, David Seymour."

"I am delighted to see that Atlas Network will continue to stand by her side, and alongside all of the world’s freedom’s champions, every step of the way."

"On behalf of the Taxpayers' Union - also an Atlas Network Partner - we extend our congratulations."
