OSLO, Norway (AP) — Opposition activist María Corina Machado of Venezuela won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

The former opposition presidential candidate in Venezuela was lauded for being a “key, unifying figure in a political opposition that was once deeply divided — an opposition that found common ground in the demand for free elections and representative government,” said Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel committee.

“In the past year, Miss Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life, she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions. When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist.”

Mr Trump's disregard for international institutions, global concerns over climate change, and his repeated lobbying for the award would have been some of the many reasons he didn't win, according to several experts.

Alfred Nobel's will, the award's foundation, says the award should go to the person "who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations".

Simply put, Mr Trump didn't do that, according to Nina Graeger, director of the Peace Research Institute Oslo.

Now #45/(46/)47 has even more reason(s) to show his wrath against the Venezuelans.

@FanAttick

The Donald was robbed of his greatest wish !😀

@Chrissy

I guess it’s back to regularly scheduled Gaza programming …

@FanAttick

And Putin has put in his two cents.

Putin: Trump’s too good for the Nobel Peace Prize

I just love that line. That should make #45(/46)/47 feel so much better.

Is it true she dedicated the win to Trump?

@JahJah

Is it true she dedicated the win to Trump?

She deserves another Nobel Prize for diplomacy😀

oh dear! Poor Dementia Don!

“We only give the award to people of courage and integrity.”

In her own words

@FanAttick

Oh Boy --- that is not going to sit well with a certain person

@FanAttick

The best justification that I have seen for not giving Trump the Nobel Peace Prize is that one cannot expect to win a Nobel peace prize while waging war against one’s own people.

The word ‘concomitant’ came into my mind as I read your post. Don’t know if it’s apropos, it just seem so to me. 😆

Machado dedicated the winning of Nobel peace prize to Donald Trump.

She called him saying, "You deserved it"

Were you an eavesdropper on that phone call?

It's good to see though that the Venezuelan 'activist' has a direct line to the President of the United States.
