It's The Moderates Calling the Marches to Miraflores Now
On Wednesday, we saw the thing that never happened in 2014: moderates calling for radical action.
In my latest thing for the Washington Post, I thought it was important to take a moment to reflect:
On Wednesday, some of the opposition’s most influential moderates, including Miranda state governor Henrique Capriles and National Assembly chairman Henry Ramos, sounded distinctly like the radicals they used to tut-tut in 2014. Venezuelans could hardly believe our ears as we heard them call for the National Assembly to unilaterally vote to unseat Maduro and then march to the presidential palace to hand him his pink slip. It was simply unprecedented.
I have a feeling we’re not in Cojedes anymore, Toto.
