Deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his allies in the American far left have worked overtime this week to paint the inauguration of President Juan Guaidó as a U.S.-backed, right-wing coup. In doing so, they omit perhaps the single defining trait of Guaidó’s opposition coalition: his party, Popular Will, is a member of the Socialist International (SI).
Popular Will is one of four parties in Venezuela that belong to the global left-wing institution and a former member of the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD), a coalition of political parties that led years of “talks” with Maduro, allowing him to consolidate his regime through ******* dissidents, placing them in prisons or ******* chambers, and begging kindred nations like China and Russia for money.
Popular Will survived that mess – one that resulted in the death of the protest movement and marked distrust of the Venezuelan opposition by the people themselves – as did Guaidó, who identified himself as a lawmaker representing the MUD in the National Assembly while being a founding member of Popular Will, an openly “progressive” party.
