Remember María Corina Machado? the Venezuelan politician who dedicated her so-called “Nobel Peace Prize” to Donald Trump?
Today, CODEPINK activists interrupted her speech and gave her a more fitting award instead: the Monroe Doctrine Award. For outstanding dedication to U.S. intervention, sanctions, regime change, and empire in Latin America.
A politician who supported sanctions that devastated Venezuelan families, backed invasion threats, and supports Israel’s genocide in Gaza does not represent peace.
She represents war, colonization, and U.S. hegemony. Congratulations, Maria.
