The Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 goes to a brave and committed champion of peace – to a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness. As the leader of the democracy movement in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado is one of the most extraordinary examples of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times.
Ms Machado has been 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.
於是,开奖前有人预测,今年和平奖得主会颁给某个组织而非个人。奥斯陆和平研究所(Peace Research Institute Oslo)主任葛雷格(Nina Græger)在和平奖揭晓前提及,苏丹紧急应变室(Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms)、保护记者委员会(Committee to Protect Journalists)、国际妇女和平与自由联盟(Women's International League for Peace and Freedom)都是有可能出缐的组织。去年也由组织日本原爆受害者团体「日本原水爆被害者团体协议会(「日本被团协」)摘下桂冠。
