VENEZUELA: Maduro rallies the troops
From his own perspective, it has been a fairly good week for President Nicolás Maduro, with the latest - Caracas-alleged - US efforts to isolate and topple the Bolivarian Revolution roundly backfiring. Maduro now has the full rhetorical support of the region, with the apparent US efforts to go it alone on Venezuela looking like a miscalculation. After Uruguay’s new Vice-President got on the wrong side of Maduro with an arguably benign comment, it is very unlikely that any sitting regional leader will dare come off the fence in public. The beleagured Venezuelan opposition, meanwhile, appears more abject and isolated than ever.
