María Corina Machado awarded the Nobel Peace Prize! What a mockery of the word “Peace.”
Why was the prize awarded to a woman who applauded the
blowing up of boats in the Caribbean, which obliterated over a dozen men,
without any credible justification whatsoever? And a woman who urges the United
States to intervene in her country militarily. Is that what peace is all about?
Why didn’t the prize go to activists who have called on Israel to withdraw from
Gaza in the face of the genocide that is being committed there?

thank you Professor Ellner! It's such a relief to hear an honest assessment of Machado's role in Venezuelan and international politics. How the Nobel Committee can possibly justify (to itself) awarding this honor to MCM is beyond the powers of imagination of those of us who actually know what she represents. It's no wonder she was surprised!! She participates in a violent coup against the elected government in 2002, celebrates a foreign power killing her countrymen in international waters in 2025, and wins the Nobel Peace Prize? Feo.
