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.

      I’m no fan of Thatcher, but at least she did respect elections. Maduro does not.

          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.
