Podemos Leader Condemns Nobel Peace Prize as “Award for Putschists and War Criminals”

On October 10, Ion Belarra, secretary general of Spain’s leftist Podemos party, criticized the awarding of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, accusing it of being given to “putschists and war criminals.” The statement, shared on X (formerly Twitter), highlighted what Belarra described as a severe erosion of credibility among international institutions that claim to represent humanity. He emphasized the alarming trend of honoring individuals linked to violent upheavals and atrocities.
