Didn't the other opposition reps in the Venezuelan legislature tell him to gently caress off a couple years ago?

they didn’t do that at least openly, they didn’t vote him any position so he’s a president without a party for lack of a better term

frankenfreak posted:it rules that the interim president is in violation of the constitution he supposedly upholds, having failed to hold presidential elections after being proclaimed interim president, but his supporters don't want to you to think about that also he no longer holds the position that theoretically empowered him to become interim president, because there were new elections held to the National Assembly in 2020 that his party boycotted. Instead they met online to declare that actually they would remain the legitimately-elected democratic representatives of the Venezuelan people in perpetuity with no elections required, until... wait for it... an election could be held.

If US popular media is going out of their way to softball them and make them look great and democratic, it usually means theyre an insane murderous dictator and an election is coming up

if loving tucker carlson thought it was a good idea to sully the soles of his shoes with god forbid Central American soil - what some of his like call "sub-mexico" in their mind - to speak with the man in person, I would say that this president might be one hell of a turbomoronic rear end in a top hat

actual swords are kinda lame fantasy swords are cool unfortunately we have to give it to the el salvador president But like, is he a Duterte/Bolsonaro-esque figure or more of a poo poo neolib? I'm expecting the former considering how much LATAM politics are hosed.

Uses democratic pluralism on the international stage but domestically does mostly conservative stuff, an most importantly helms a viable 'centrist' party to siphon off enough support to defang the left, which he then cracked down on. As a former "member" of the left he seems a hell of a lot like an op but I can't remember if he's one of the ones where his CIA ties have actualy been reported or not.

Your description makes me think of NOVO's candidates in Brazil: well-dressed, reasonable, will support fascist policies and attack the left whenever possible, really into capitalism.

I love that that editorial just as a side note includes the fact that she used deadly force on protestors, but then defends her by saying she stopped (after human rights groups were going after her)

"Opening Bolivia to health diplomacy" is also an interesting one down there at the bottom, just casually dropping "yeah we re-established health ties with the coup regime--oh excuse me, after national elections and that will let us spread influence where we couldn't before"
