Oslo, Norway
A Norwegian MP who proposed Donald Trump’s candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize considered on Thursday that the US president did not deserve the award after all, given his behavior since he lost the November 2020 election.
The deputy, right-wing anti-migrant member, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, He noted that the candidacy he announced in September was justified at the time by the progress that, according to him, got Donald Trump in the Middle East. But the behavior he has had since the last election disqualifies him for the award, he clarified.
“It achieved results in the Middle East for peace between Israel and several neighboring countries,” Tybring-Gjedde told TV2 Nyhetskanalen.

“There are many Peace Prizes given to people who have not succeeded, while he has. But when we see what has happened next and what has just happened, taking this award would be totally unnatural, “he added.
Tybring-Gjedde and a Swedish MP separately proposed to Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize 2021, The first for the role of the outgoing president in the normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and the second, for his efforts in the rapprochement between Serbia and Kosovo.
Donald Trump has refused to accept his November 3 presidential defeat, and a rally of his supporters on Wednesday in Washington degenerated into violent episodes on the Capitol grounds. A deadly violence that Trump was accused of inciting.
“After the electoral defeat […], He has been virtually unstable mentally, judging by his behavior, “considered Tybring-Gjedde, who in 2018 also nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel.” I find it embarrassing what he has done since the election. I should have accepted the defeat a long time ago. “

Tens of thousands of people (parliamentarians and ministers from all countries, expremiados, some university professors, etc.) can apply for the Nobel Peace Prize.
