Comit del Nobel aclara a Mara Corina Machado que no puede transferir el Nobel de la Paz

Maria Corina Machado broke her silence and spoke with Fox News after Donald Trump left her out of the transition in Venezuela following the military action where Nicolas Maduro was captured.

The opposition leader thanked the President of the United States for the courageous actions that led to Maduro's downfall and attempted to send him a wink, stating that he wishes to share his Nobel Peace Prize with the president.

However, it seems that the intention will remain only rhetoric, as the Norwegian Nobel Institute confirmed that a Nobel Prize cannot be transferred to third parties.

A Nobel Prize cannot be revoked or transferred to others. Once the laureate or laureates have been announced, the decision is final, said spokesman Erik Aasheim.

As for the prize money, the laureate or laureates are free to dispose of it as they see fit, added the representative of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, which acts as the secretariat of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Machado, who had already dedicated the Nobel Prize to Trump when he received it, stated this Monday in an interview on the American network Fox News that we certainly want to give it to him and share it with him.

However, Trump has denied this information, although he has said that Machado "should not have won it." "She's a very nice woman. But she doesn't have the support or respect of the country," Trump said.
