Recently I spoke to a friend from Venezuela to ask her about the situation on the ground and if she’s safe and whatnot. Of course the topic of conversation veered into politics and so I asked about what she thought of Maduro and such, suffice it to say she did not think positively of him.
So I’m just curious, what are other Venezuelan comrades’ opinions on Maduro and his administration, and the general population’s opinions. I knew many had a gripe with him because they perceived him to be the problem for the economics crisis Venezuela went through (not US intervention).
Please educate and correct me and give your own opinions, thanks.
I learn this more and more as I look back at some experiences I had. Always wondered why one of my Venezuelan friends was so vehemently anti-communist at an age I didn’t even understand what economics was until I realized later on his father managed a minor-league baseball team in America, was a MLB player for a short period of time and would refuse to elaborate more on his dad’s “political career” in Venezuela before that.
Shit was kind of scary when you think about it. Like, the guy was targeted for that kind of thought at a way earlier age.
