'The politics of Thatcher and the allure of Peron' - Venezuela's new firebrand | SpectatorTV

Просмотров 23 тыс.

This weekend Venezuelans will go to the polls and will have a choice between the incumbent President Nicolas Maduro - Hugo Chavez's number two - and Maria Corina Machado, the stylish 56-year-old firebrand who mixes the crowd-pulling allure of Evita Peron with the politics of Margaret Thatcher.
Machado is showing the world how opposition politicians can fight an autocrat. When Maduro tried to thwart her campaign by banning her from taking domestic flights, she drove between her rallies on a motorcycle. When he then banned her from running as a candidate in this weekend's presidential election, she found a retired diplomat to run as her proxy. Without even being on the ballot, can she bring down Maduro’s socialist regime?
The Spectator's Editor Fraser Nelson speaks to Dr Paola Romero, philosophy teacher at the London School of Economics.

I lived in Venezuela for 5 years under Chavez and Maduro, as well as followed the country closely for the past 15+ years. This is the finest summary of the current situation that I have ever seen. Hope was dead in Venezuela for many many years and all of a sudden...... I am afraid to be disappointed once again but maybe.... Thank you Dr. Romero

i do not know, in 2019 options were better, Trump a presidente of U.S.A. helped since the begining, joined 17 latinamerican countries since de begining. I mean. if you bet on horses, you will say. mmm, this Horse cannot won on 2019. why he can win a race on 2024? i supose it is the begining of the End, but not the End of Maduro. just a begnning of the End.

She is not Peron nor Thatcher like they said below. She is Maria Corina Machado, and she along Edmundo, is the hope my country has for a change, for liberty, for freedom of speech, for NEVER again see a mother lining up for rotten food, for never again seeing students getting killed for protesting peacefully at their streets!!!

Neither Peron nor Thatcher. Those old comparisons don't fit Maria Corina Machado at all. She is a true leader of these turbulent times. For certain, she'll be, by far, much better leader for Venezuela than Sunak was, or Starmer is, for the declining UK.

@veronicalopez3148 2 месяца назад

I understand that in order to understand new information, we compare it to pre-existing information and use certain frames of reference. However, Thatcher and Peron are not accurate comparisons at all. Is Maria Corina proposing a change? Yes. She is anti-corruption, she will release political prisoners, those are her distinguishing features. Edmundo González is the candidate, though. He is more than "sweet", he has integrity, and he is aligned with democratic values, like Maria Corina.
