VENEZUELA: Predictable victory for Maduro
Legislative and regional elections held in Venezuela on 25 May were a roaring success, according to President Nicolás Maduro’s government, and a major embarrassment for Maduro, marked by high abstention rates, according to the opposition. The opposition’s efforts to spin the elections as a victory are dubious. The ruling Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV) extended its control, winning three state governorships from the opposition, which came out of the elections with its divisions on full display.
