Oslo: The Nobel Peace Prize was given on Friday to Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Korina Machado, who dedicated the award to Venezuela’s people and US President Donald Trump.

The Democracy activist MacDo, who launched a campaign to end President Nicholas Maduro’s dictatorship in last year’s elections, has become a “solidarity” personality in Venezuela.

He has refused to leave despite threats against his life.

He dedicated his award to “Venezuela’s suffering people” and, in a surprising move, for Trump, who has long been referring to his “decisive support for our purpose”.

“More than ever, we trust President Trump,” he wrote on X, a month in a large construction of the US military near the Venezuelan coast, and a deadly strike campaign on suspicious drug boats.

58 -year -old MacDo told the Nobel Institute director Christineberg Harpokin, who called him with his award news, he is confident of a peaceful transfer to democracy in Venezuela.

“I am sure we will prevail,” he said in this call.

“Since last year, a trained engineer,” said Nobel Committee Chair George Watin Freedon, “is the most extraordinary example of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times.”

Venezuela opposition figures, Edmundo Gonzalez Arootia, who lived in deportation in Spain, called their victory “a woman’s long struggle and a well -known people for freedom and democracy.”

Within Venezuela, however, some people criticized the general award.

“This woman has done nothing for peace in Venezuela,” a 68 -year -old pensioner Pedro Gonzalez misbehaved in Karakas.

“What he has done is demanding protests, demanding riots and demanding all such things.”

The Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations jokingly made fun that MacDo Physics is no more than a Nobel winning Nobel.

But in Argentina, millions of Venezuela’s homes that have fled the country’s economic deterioration under Maduro, there were events.

Venezuela’s 31 -year -old lawyer and activist Maria Angel Navas called the award “confirmed and recognized a struggle that has been going on for years.”

Rock star politician

Mando was the opposition presidential candidate for Venezuela’s 2024 elections, but Maduro’s government withheld his candidate.

He then hesitated, supported the very well -known former Diplomat Gonzalez Arotia, along with him at the rallies with him where he was welcomed like a rock star.

Maduro claimed the election victory, but only a handful of countries acknowledged his victory.

Born in Caracas, MacDo entered politics in 2002 under the head of the Association Summit (joining us), and called for a referendum to remember the late socialist leader Hugo Chavez, Maduro’s mentor.

As a result of this call, there were allegations of treason and death threats, which would send her three children to stay abroad.

The committee said it was aware that Machado would not be able to attend the Oslo event on December 10.

The award has begun a month in the US campaign of military pressure on Maduro’s government, which includes attack on boats near Venezuela, alleging that they are taking drugs.

Washington accused Maduro of leading a drug cartel, which he denies.

MacDo and Gonzalez Arootia have supported US pressure on their government as a “necessary step” towards “restoration of popular sovereignty”.

Ended Trump’s hopes

Machado was not included in the ones mentioned as awarded people during Friday’s announcement

Nevertheless, a few hours before being awarded the award, the prediction platform increased from 3.75 % to about 73 73 % on the polymerket.

Freudes said that once a relatively democratic and prosperous petro -state, Venezuela is now a “brutal dictatorship that is now suffering from a human and economic crisis”.

More than 7 million Venezuela-nearly a quarter of the population, has escaped the country’s economic malfunction under Maduro.

After returning to the White House for his second term in January, Trump has repeatedly insisted that he deserves Nobel’s role in resolving multiple disputes.

His office called the committee’s decision a symbol of “more politics than peace”.

However, the committee had chosen its choice a few days before the announcement of the deal to end the fighting in Gaza.
