THE VENEZUELAN OPPOSITIONI IS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING

 

The Presidential Elections of 2024 in Venezuela will not be Fair. The Marco Rubio-Rick Scott sponsored “Venezuelan Democracy Act” will make sure of that.

 

Of course they won’t be fair. Venezuelan voters will have a gun pointed at their head. If Maduro wins, the deadly U.S.-imposed sanctions will continue. If the opposition wins, the next day the sanctions will be lifted and IMF and World Bank money will immediately start flowing in (just as it was announced on April 12, 2002 during the Pedro Carmona 48-hour stint as president).

 

This is the same strategy that was used against the Sandinistas and it worked in 1990 with the election of Violeta Chamorro.

 

The Venezuelan Democracy Act introduced in Congress in March, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States to withhold loans approved by an international financial institution such as the International Monetary Fund. Furthermore, the U.S. government shall encourage other governments to restrict commercial and credit transactions with Venezuela and stipulates that coercive measures will be imposed on foreign governments that offers aid to the Venezuelan government.
