    VenezolanosConBiden and MAGAzuela: Two sides of the same coin

    Originally published: MintPress News on July 9, 2020 (more by MintPress News)  |

    Within a few hours of being launched, over 800 Venezuelans in the U.S. registered for an emergency flight from Miami to Caracas through a website run by the Venezuelan government.

    Mistrial in Trump admin’s biased case against Venezuelan embassy protectors is win for sovereignty

    Originally published: The Grayzone on February 14, 2020 (more by The Grayzone)  |

    The Trump administration’s case against Venezuelan embassy protectors was severely biased, but ended up with a hung jury. The mistrial is a victory for sovereignty and democracy, and another failure in the coup attempt.

    Leonardo Flores

    The payment of Mr. Guaidó’s representatives is a serious conflict of interest. Does the Guaidó team represent the Venezuelan people or the interests of the government that is paying their salaries? It is a point worth reiterating: a foreign politician is being paid by the United States to influence policy in the United States.
