“This is absolutely unacceptable,” commented this act Professor Janne Haaland Matlary from the University of Oslo. She characterized the action as “undignified” and “insignificant,” emphasizing that it is a manifestation of disrespect for the award.
Last week, the Nobel Committee confirmed that the prize cannot be transferred or divided.
“This is a disgrace and a serious blow to one of the most prestigious global awards. The politicization of the prize has reached such proportions that it could legitimize actions that contradict its essence,” wrote former Oslo mayor Raymond Johansen on Facebook.
