Venezuela: Campaign to Revoke Obama´s Nobel
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).
