On charges of... uhhh... hm...
Because... uhhmm.. he doesn't like them?

1- He doesn't turn against her or try to undermine her (he certainly would otherwise)
2- He publicly supports her cause.
3- His attention stays on Venezuela .. I really doubt she wants a full-scale US intervention.
Indeed. Juan Guaidó is yesterdays man.

" She has expressed support for the use of force to depose the Maduro regime; one of her advisors told the New York Times that she has coordinated with the Trump administration and that she has a plan for the first hundred hours after his deposition"
Not sure what democratic mandate she has to be in charge post a foreign led military coup - though she is a graduate of the Yale World Fellows programme.

2025 Venezuela opposition, 2023 Iranian opposition, 2022 Belarus, Russia opposition ( and +1 for Ukraine ), 2021 Russian opposition ( +philipines ).

2- The committee values international cooperation, not trade wars, isolationism, or cozying up to dictators.
3- They prize the defense of democracy, not attacks on it.
4- The cherry on the cake: Machado got the prize while he's been threatening war with Venezuela itself. It almost feels like a big f*ck off
