Dictator Maduro warns that “alarms are on in the region” in the face of ‘extreme’ right-wing actions

The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, a dictator himself, expressed this Thursday night that “the alarms are on” in Latin America and the Caribbean in view of the certain threat of the resurgence of extreme right-wing groups linked to coup d’état.

Maduro pointed out that recent coup attempts have been observed in Latin America, “today we see an extremist right-wing, in Brazil, they call it Bolsonarista (after former president Jair Bolsonaro), here they called it, until a few days ago, Guaidocista (after former deputy Juan Guaidó)”.

He denounced that such groups act throughout the region, always seeking “the breaking of the rules of the democratic game and the coup in all its expressions, its forms, which can even reach foreign interventionism as it has reached in Venezuela, at some point”.

This irony should not be lost on anyone, as Maduro himself is one of the most significant extremist rule-breakers of the democratic game of all time in Latin America.

During his annual report and account speech before the Parliament, the Venezuelan Head of State described these groups that intend to regroup in the region as guided by “ideological and political extremism” whose doctrine is “hatred and intolerance”.

“It was in Venezuela where the first popular (electoral) revolution arose, but also where the counterrevolutionary coup that has contaminated the entire right wing of Latin America and the Caribbean arose,” Maduro lamented.

The president said that, in his country, the pro-government forces have always known how to “face their hatred, their campaigns, their intolerance; the people have always known how to handle conflicts with strategic patience and wisdom”.
