PSD:
“The Norwegian Nobel Committee has just awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, leader of the Venezuelan democratic forces”, says the note sent by the PSD.
“The PSD welcomes the recognition and the fact that, a year ago, it was the proponent of its nomination for the Sakharov Prize, awarded by the European Parliament, which it would go on to win.”
The party’s delegation in the European Parliament has also reacted, through MEP Sebastião Bugalho. “We applaud with great joy the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, leader of Venezuela’s democratic forces”, said the deputy coordinator of the PPE Group for External Affairs and one of the main promoters of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González’s candidacy for the Sakharov Prize.
“Today, we only say what she would say to us: this is a victory for all Venezuelan democrats, those who resist and those who were forced to leave their country, from political prisoners to those forced to change their address every week. It is them that we do not forget. They are the ones that María Corina represents. Today they are the ones who win the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Paulo Raimundo, general secretary of the PCP:
“Everything indicated that there was going to be a coup in which Trump would be the Nobel Prize winner. It wasn’t Trump, it was a ‘Trumpist’. And, therefore, there isn’t much more to say about it. The Academy gave a prize not to Trump — which was also too much –, so it gave it to a ‘Trumpist'”, criticized the secretary general of the PCP, Paulo Raimundo, in statements to journalists during a riot at the Baixa da Banheira, in the municipality of Moita.

The choice of María Corina Machado did not please everyone. In Spain, the former Spanish deputy prime minister and leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, was one of the most critical.
“The truth is that, to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Corina Machado, who has been trying to carry out a coup d’état in her country for years, they could have given it directly to Trump or even posthumously to Adolf Hitler. Next year, let Putin and Zelensky share it”, he wrote in X.
