Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday called opposition leader Maria Corina Machado a “demonic witch", two days after she won the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting democracy. The Nobel Committee praised Machado’s “tireless work” for human rights in Venezuela, long at odds with Washington since the Trump administration deployed warships nearby.
She’s a fan of Margaret Thatcher which is all that needs to be known about her. Typical neoliberal trash.
Sure, but does that make her a “demonic witch”?
I’m no fan of Thatcher, but at least she did respect elections. Maduro does not.
Setting the bar real low here
Well, that’s where the bar is. In Venezuela, and soon maybe also in the US, if Trump gets his way.
And without elections, it’s going to be a lot harder to get change.
