Nora Margarita Uribe Trujillo (1938 – 7 February 2026) was a Venezuelan politician of the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR).[1]
Life and career
Uribe served as Minister of Communication and Information from 2002 to 2003 under President Hugo Chávez, with whom she often appeared on the talk show Aló Presidente.[2] She initially sought a seat in the National Assembly, but Chávez dismissed her from her post following a technical error that "ruined" the broadcast of one of his speeches.[3] She also held diplomatic roles, serving as ambassador to El Salvador in 2010,[4] Costa Rica (where she was threatened with kidnapping),[5] and Paraguay.
Uribe died on 7 February 2026.[6]
