Stockholm (IINA) - Speculation mounted Friday that Angela Merkel could scoop this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for her leadership during Europe’s migrant crisis after she was being tipped by one of Germany’s leading newspapers and experts in Norway, AFP reported.
Ahead of the Nobel prize season beginning on Monday, Germany’s influential Bild newspaper said Merkel, 61, had “a good chance” of winning, in part over her open-door policy on refugees fleeing war and persecution. “Reasons: her actions in the Ukraine crisis and the refugee policies,” the German daily said. A total of 276 nominations have been submitted for this year’s peace prize — two short of the record 278 last year. The Norwegian Nobel Institute never discloses the list, leaving amateurs and experts to resort to a guessing game ahead of the Oct. 9 announcement.
