Donald Trump's big disappointment: US president loses bid for Nobel Peace Prize
"Machado, 57, has been in hiding for almost a year. President Nicolas Maduro's regime forced her to retreat to a secret location after the presidential elections of July 28, 2024, which marked a turning point in Venezuela's recent history. Chavismo, claimed victory without providing any evidence to certify it, and all Maduro has left today is terror, she told EL PAIS in a July interview from an undisclosed location."
"The supporters of giving the prize to Trump a diverse list including prime ministers, foreign ministers, and Republican congressmembers seemingly as interested in world peace as in pleasing the White House resident thought that after Trump's announcement on Wednesday (36 hours before the Nobel Peace Prize announcement) that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of Washington's peace plan for Gaza, the prize would be a given."
Maria Corina Machado received the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting democratic rights and civilian courage in Venezuela. The Norwegian Nobel Committee made its decision before the Israel–Hamas agreement to end the Gaza war, and instead of awarding Donald Trump supporters anticipated, the prize went to Machado. Machado, 57, has been hiding for almost a year after Nicolas Maduro's regime forced her to retreat to a secret location following the July 28, 2024 presidential elections. Chavismo claimed victory without providing evidence, and Machado described the regime as leaving only terror. Supporters of Trump hoped his role in the Gaza deal would secure the prize, but the committee prioritized adherence to Nobel guidelines.
