The US authorities will make great efforts to ensure that by the end of the year, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro will lose political influence in the Bolivarian Republic. This was stated on Tuesday by the us special representative for Venezuela Elliot Abrams, speaking to the foreign Affairs Committee of the us Senate. His words are quoted by TASS.
"Without a doubt, we hope that he will not survive this year (as head of state. - Primas'. TASS). We are working hard to ensure that this is the case, " Abrams said. Venezuelans should protest against these elections (we are talking about the elections to the National Assembly, which are scheduled for December. - Primas'. TASS)".
In addition, the international community "must reject these elections as a complete fraud". "We need more sanctions, personal sanctions. < ... > in the case of relations, especially between Iran and Venezuela, we need to continue to try to prevent their development," the us state Department official added.
Soldiers of the Venezuelan army at the moment still prefer to support the country's authorities led by Nicolas Maduro, said Elliot Abrams. "For now, the Venezuelan military remains on the side of the regime, and this is tragic," he said.
At the same time, Abrams ironically spoke about the combat capability of the Venezuelan army, noting that it "has more generals than the entire NATO," Interfax reports.
Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves. This could have been the key to prosperity if not for the populist policies of President Nicolas Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, which undermined market institutions. However, the authorities blame external forces, including "American imperialism", for all the numerous disasters that have befallen the country.
The Bolivarian Republic has been going through an acute socio-economic crisis in recent years, accompanied by the devaluation of the national currency, hyperinflation, and a shortage of goods. In the spring of 2019, the collapse of the national health system was reported. Due to the lack of medicines and vaccines, diseases such as measles, diphtheria, tuberculosis, malaria are spreading rapidly, and child mortality is increasing. Many children suffer from hunger. According to last year's UN estimates, more than 4 million people have already left the country (about one in eight residents).
"Brain drain" results in even greater economic problems and a lack of skilled labor.
The political situation in Venezuela escalated after opposition leader Juan Guaido, whose appointment as speaker of the Parliament was annulled two days earlier by the Supreme court of Venezuela, declared himself acting President on January 23, 2019. The interim head of state recognized by the US, joined the country's Group Lima (except Mexico), the Organization of American States and several European countries.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called the incident an attempted coup. Russia, Belarus, Bolivia, China, Cuba, Iran, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Syria and Turkey expressed their support.
The real levers of power remained with Maduro. Despite the sanctions and problems in the economy, the generals and the leadership of the security forces remained loyal to him.
