Union Worker on Military Trial
Maduro and his Defense minister fight sanctions with a show, Guaidó appoints a CEO for Citgo and the EU denounces the ANC.
Briefing
An Empty Threat
Diosdado Cabello continues to reduce the National Assembly using the sharp scissors of TSJ and ANC persecution to end the parliamentary quorum.
Chavismo Left the Table
Maduro's regime reacts to the new imposed sanctions: chavismo left the Barbados negotiation and lied about a boat full of soy being retained at the Panama Canal on its way to Venezuela.
A Perfect Excuse & a Year of Injustice
Nicolás’s government said on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s Executive Order to block the State’s asses in U.S. soil pretends to “formalize the criminal economic, financial and commercial blockade.”
A So-Called Embargo
A U.S. Executive Order takes sanctions one step further and Colombia gives citizenship to Venezuelan babies born in their territory.
Another Flight
President Donald Trump was asked: “Are you considering putting on quarantine or blocking Venezuela, because of the degree of Russia, China and Iran’s involvement?” Trump answered: “Yes, I am.”
Wanted
Tareck El Aissami is included among the most wanted fugitives Nicolás’s economic vice-president, Meduza, an online Russian newspaper, investigated the presence and reasons of permanence of Russians in Venezuela.
Advancing in the Dark
Guaidó waits for Norway’s statement on the dialogue with chavismo. Cabello threatens to use the ANC to call for new parliamentary elections. He also celebrated the ANC’s anniversary and said that they’d accomplished many goals, even though there’s no new Constitution in sight.
Chávez’s Birthday Present
The Sao Paulo Forum was irrelevant, neither good nor bad, just insignificant. Maduro admits ELN and FARC are welcome here, Diosdado accuses Colombia of using Venezuela for drug trafficking. Venezuelan Adriana Fernández won the City of Perpignan Rémi Ochlik Award.
The Show in Sao Paulo Is Over
We lost a little of what we were this weekend, Carmen Victoria Pérez and Carlos Cruz-Diez died. The Sao Paulo Forum is over. TSJ keeps trying to stop the National Assembly from doing its job.
