Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize
Machado, the opposition leader in Venezuela, has largely been in hiding since last year's presidential elections. She's recognised "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela" and "her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy". Machado is "one of the most extraordinary examples of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times."

I truly hoped no one took the idea of a Nobel Peace prize win for such a bigoted, hateful person as Trump seriously.
It would have the same effect as when Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously to Charlie Kirk; it would devalue the award and lessen whatever prestige it might’ve meant for any previous or future winners.
