The Spin

While the US and its allies have already criticized the Maduro dictatorship for election fraud, the Biden admin. has dealt a further blow to the autocratic regime by publicly recognizing González as president-elect of Venezuela. Despite speculation that Trump might be open to a softer approach towards Maduro, lessons from his first stint at the White House indicate that Caracas should instead prepare itself for a barrage of sanctions.

Despite America's best attempts to claim otherwise, the interventionist Western regime has sought to meddle in Venezuela to try to overturn the legitimate win of Maduro in the presidential election. There must be no doubt that Venezuela will continue to push back against failed Western attempts to attack its sovereignty, especially now that the BRICS bloc of nations is offering a multitude of counter-hegemonic economic and political opportunities.
