An American civil rights group on Friday called on the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner to renounce her support for Zionism and fascism, including over her links to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political party and right-wing groups in Europe.
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) said that they “strongly disagree” with the Nobel Prize committee’s decision to award the prize to Maria Corina Machado, who they said “delivered remarks at a conference of European fascists, including Geert Wilders and Marie Le Pen, which openly called for a new Reconquista, referencing the ethnic cleansing of Spanish Muslims and Jews in the 1500s”.
The Norwegians really need to brush up on their Swedish because this choice (one among many) goes directly against Alfred Nobels wishes.
Which wish does this go against, specifically? I’m uneducated in his wishes and wish to know more.
Edit: K? Down votes for wanting to know more? Neat.
“The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: /- – -/ one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” (Excerpt from the will of Alfred Nobel)
Machado spends pretty much each breath calling for war.
Thank you very much for the quote!
Yeah that does look very anti noble/Nobel, doesn’t it. 😐
