Venezuela: Campaign to Revoke Obama´s Nobel
CARACAS - The United Socialist Party
of Venezuela (PSUV) shapes from Tuesday a
world campaign to claim the revocation of
the Nobel Peace Prize that was bestowed upon
Barack Obama because he is considered to be
a warmonger.
According to the party, which has more that
seven million members, the first African
American Head of the White House is far from
deserving the prize that was founded in 1901
and has been bestowed upon 95 people and 20
organizations.
We believe there should be a review of the
acknowledgement. It is a duty of the
progressive countries to request it, assured
leader of the PSUV Jacqueline Faria when she
announced the initiative.
According to Faria, the Commission of
Foreign Affairs of the bloc has the mission
to promote the crusade.
The justification of the war in Afghanistan,
the sending of new occupying troops to that
Central Asian nation and the installation of
military stations in Colombia and Panama
constitute arguments to demand the annulment
of the Nobel Prize.
Obama´s stance at the Summit on Climate
Change in Copenhagen, where he acted as a
strategist but a war one, should be added to
that.
Faria recalled the North American plan of
imposing an exclusive pact in the meeting
that was meant to save the planet, which was
a proposal with a lack of concrete actions
to move forward in the mitigation of the
release of pollutant gases to the atmosphere
that are responsible for the increase of
global temperature.
Obama has broken his promises of peace and
change, she said.
Among the guests that are different from
Obama are the indigenous Guatemalan
Rigoberta Menchu (1992), Kenyan
environmentalist and politician Wangari
Maathai (2004), former President of the
United States James Carter (2002) and former
US Vice President Al Gore (2007). |
