MARÍA CORINA MACHADO
0 F all the Nobel prizes, none has attracted as much controversy over the years as the peace prize-for both the choice of awardees and those not chosen.
This year was no exception. The world recoiled and chortled in turns at the prospect of Donald Trump, who waged a global campaign to promote his candidacy, getting it. Perhaps someone should have told him that the nominations for 2025, which included 244 individuals and 94 organisations, closed 11 days after he was sworn in for the second time.
In the end, he who claimed to have stopped seven wars did not get it. But he made it a point to tell the world that the winner—María Corina Machado of Venezuela— called him to say, "I am accepting this in honour of you because you really deserved it." In a way, Trump's claim makes sense-Machado's ambitions and policies have been closely aligned with US interests.
