The 2025 award instead went to Venezuelan opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado, whose fight for democracy under an authoritarian regime has captured the world\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4 dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">\n<div id=\"digitalnews24.press_responsive_1\" class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23293390090\/digitalnews24.press\/digitalnews24.press_responsive_1_1\" class=\"dracula-style-txt-border dracula-processed\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" sandbox=\"\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"true\" data-dracula_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" data-dracula-inline-border-top=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-right=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-bottom=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-left=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"0\" data-origheight=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">Earlier today, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced its decision on X, praising Machado for her \u201ctireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5 dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">\n<div id=\"digitalnews24.press_responsive_2\" class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23293390090\/digitalnews24.press\/digitalnews24.press_responsive_2_1\" class=\"dracula-style-txt-border dracula-processed\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" sandbox=\"\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"true\" data-dracula_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" data-dracula-inline-border-top=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-right=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-bottom=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-left=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"0\" data-origheight=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">Machado, 57, has long been one of Venezuela\u2019s most vocal critics of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. Despite facing political persecution, travel bans, and threats against her life, she has continued to lead the opposition movement from exile after being forced into hiding in August 2024. The award, seen by many as a powerful message to authoritarian governments worldwide, will be presented on December 10 in Oslo, Norway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">\u201cThere will be many celebrating Machado\u2019s recognition,\u201d one political analyst told Reuters, \u201cbut it\u2019s safe to say Donald Trump won\u2019t be one of them.\u201d<br class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\" \/>Trump has repeatedly claimed that his diplomatic accomplishments \u2014 particularly his peace initiatives in the Middle East \u2014 merit the Nobel Peace Prize. During a February meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he quipped, \u201cThey will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6 dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">\n<div id=\"digitalnews24.press_responsive_3\" class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23293390090\/digitalnews24.press\/digitalnews24.press_responsive_3_1\" class=\"dracula-style-txt-border dracula-processed\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" sandbox=\"\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"true\" data-dracula_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" data-dracula-inline-border-top=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-right=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-bottom=\"\" data-dracula-inline-border-left=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-origwidth=\"0\" data-origheight=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">In recent months, Trump\u2019s rhetoric around his supposed eligibility intensified. Speaking at a European summit in August, he told reporters, \u201cI\u2019ve done six wars, I\u2019ve ended six wars. If you look at the six deals I settled this year, they were all at war. I didn\u2019t do any ceasefires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">Many observers interpreted those remarks as a renewed push for international recognition \u2014 particularly after Trump\u2019s administration played a central role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas earlier this fall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">\u201cI am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of our Peace Plan,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social following the agreement. \u201cThis means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed-upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">While Trump\u2019s supporters have hailed his involvement as a \u201chistoric diplomatic victory,\u201d the Nobel Committee made clear that its decision was guided strictly by its founding principles \u2014 not political pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">Committee Chairman J\u00f8rgen Watne Frydnes addressed questions directly about Trump\u2019s exclusion during a press briefing in Oslo. \u201cWe base our decision only on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel,\u201d Frydnes said, emphasizing that the selection process cannot be influenced by lobbying, global attention, or political expectation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">The committee\u2019s statement further explained that this year\u2019s choice reflected the global retreat of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism \u2014 an issue Machado has risked her life to confront.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">\u201cDemocracy is a precondition for lasting peace,\u201d the Nobel Committee wrote. \u201cHowever, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence. Mar\u00eda Corina Machado has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">They continued, \u201cThe Venezuelan regime\u2019s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed toward authoritarian rule and militarization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">By contrast, Nobel officials have historically resisted awarding the Peace Prize to figures whose actions \u2014 even if diplomatically successful \u2014 are viewed as polarizing or politically self-serving. Analysts note that while Trump has positioned himself as a dealmaker, his confrontational style and divisive rhetoric may have worked against him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">\u201cThe committee tends to value humility, humanitarian impact, and global consensus,\u201d said Oslo University political scientist Einar Brendalen. \u201cTrump\u2019s accomplishments, though significant in some areas, often come with controversy \u2014 and the Nobel Committee avoids that kind of political baggage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">For Trump, who has long sought international validation for his foreign policy legacy, the snub is unlikely to silence his campaign for recognition. But for Mar\u00eda Corina Machado \u2014 a woman who has endured threats, exile, and imprisonment for her belief in freedom \u2014 the Nobel Prize is a vindication of both courage and conviction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dracula-style-all dracula-processed\" data-dracula_secondary_bg_finder=\"rgb(22, 23, 22)\">As the committee concluded in its announcement: \u201cIn a time when fear and repression silence millions, voices like Machado\u2019s remind the world what peace truly requires \u2014 democracy, dignity, and the bravery to demand both.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"entry-footer\">\n<div class=\"share-icons\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-box clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has officially revealed why President Donald Trump did not win this year\u2019s Peace Prize \u2014 despite his outspoken belief that he deserved&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44766,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-44765","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
