VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION, HAVING CREATED SUCH FALSE EXPECTATIONS, HAS LOST ITS MOBILIZATION CAPACITY

Just a couple of hundred people participated on May 11 in the protest called for by Venezuela’s would-be president Juan Guaidó, in spite of the fact that the concentration was in a plaza in the wealthy district of Las Mercedes which is an opposition bastion. This is good news for the Chavistas but has its downside. Trump may say “if the Venezuelans can’t accept my wishes ‘por lo bueno’ then it will have to be ‘por lo malo.’ Those people leave me with no other alternative but to send in troops.”
