Perhaps a ‘vengeance’ decision seems to have taken Venezuela Yesterday Monday (13/10/2025), after announcing that she would close her embassy at Norwaya few days after the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Korina Matsados, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, in Oslo.
The Norway’s Foreign Ministry said the Venezuelan Embassy did not give any explanation for the decisionalthough one can assume that it was done because Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was not particularly happy with the fact that Nobel Peace was given to his political opponent, Maria Korina Matsado.
Last Sunday, Nicolas Maduro had called Matsados ”bad witch”.
“It’s sad. Despite our differences on various issues, Norway wishes to maintain the dialogue with Venezuela open and will continue to work in this direction, “a foreign ministry spokesman said.
The ministry, of course, stressed that the Nobel Committee responsible for the prize is Completely independent of the Norwegian government.
Matsado was named Nobel Peace Winner 2025 On Friday (10/10) for her struggle for the Democratic transition to the South American country.
The 58 -year -old, who was hiding last year, had been excluded from last year’s elections in Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro was declared a winner in a process tarnished by complaints about electoral fraud, sparking huge protests that were treated with violent repression by the government.
Matsando dedicated her victory to Nobel to the “tormented people of Venezuelan and President Donald Trump For his decisive support in our case. “
In addition to Norway, the Venezuelan government also announced Monday that will close her embassy in Australia and will open new embassies in Burkina Faso and Zimbabwe.
Described the African countries as’ two sisters countriesstrategic allies in the struggle against colonialism and resistance against hegemonic pressure. “
