> > The Hinterlaces poll shows strong support for Delcy Rodriguez Thanks, Chris. The poll invites the obvious question: Why doesn't she call an election and demonstrate to her critics on the left in the Venezuelan CP and chavista movement that she has the strong support of the masses? Also, the Trump administration is reportedly not pressuring her to call an election, a long-standing US demand. This could be less out of concern that she might win than that she might lose: US strategists and left-wing critics of the government seem to agree: Why put in Machado, widely seen as a US puppet and a polarizing figure who could revive the mass movement, when Rodriguez is already doing the US bidding? But as I noted above, I don't think she or her government have much choice other than to resign and make way for someone else to follow the same policies, willingly or unwillingly. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
