He really deserves it!!
 
as much as i like ingrid and felt bad during her kidnapping, i doubt she is a good candidate for a price such as the nobel peace prize or the prince of asturias. being kidnapped is not something she chose and is definitely not something that has a direct impact in the end of the FARC. now, if she decided to engage in activities to promote dialogue or to free the other people in the jungle and showed change by her activities in the next couple of years, that would be worth of a prize, in my opinion. i'm disappointed that the other candidates to the prize, who worked hard to achieve peace and wellbeing of people during years, are seeing their candidatures being left out. it's obvious the prince of asturias foundation wants to attract press and hype to the prizes and ingrid seemed to be the perfect way of doing so.
 
Thanks carlota i had been wondering when the actual ceremony is

I agree with you. The time span from the moment of her release to this point of giving her the prize is just too short to fully establish if the peace and social change that they were campaigning had really been achieved. It was a triumph that she was freed, yes, but that doesn't equate to bringing peace. FARC is still in Colombia, after all.

The same also goes for Rafa Nadal. While I felt like crying when he finally broke through and won Wimbledon, he is not yet even into the prime of his career. It's a bit premature to give him the award, I think. He still has many years ahead, and I'd better appreciate it if he was given the award when he has retired after solid years of playing top tennis.

Letizia and Felipe look very good, they just glow. I looks to me that Letizia has gained a few kilos (?). She wore this suit in April and I think that she looked thinner then.
