Sarah Anderson writes for PJMedia.com about insightful commentary from Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.
She also explained that a free and prosperous Venezuela is part of our own national interest, and I think Trump and Rubio agree. Not only would there be economic benefits, but it would also ultimately help with our mass migration issue and strengthen our nation’s security.
“So, it is in the best interest of United States and the Venezuelan people to have this transition. We are ready to take power, the legitimate government elected. Venezuela will move orderly and peacefully to the transition, and we will see, Rachel, millions of Venezuelans coming back home, including more than half a million that live in the United States and want to come back to rebuild our country and reunite our families.”
Something I found even more interesting is that Campos-Duffy sort of compared socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his proposed policies to Maduro, and the NYC of the future to the Venezuela of today that Maduro and Hugo Chavez before him built. She asked Machado if she had a warning for New York voters.
“You, you have no idea how many people come to me in Venezuela telling me how much they regret the lies and the threats that they pay attention once Chavez was initially campaigning. And now they regret, because once you have communism and dictatorship in power, it’s very hard to get them out of power. So, this is a lesson that we’ve learned the hard way. …”
Say it louder for those in the back. Once you have communists in power, it’s very hard to get them out.
If only the privileged and/or misled people of New York listened to those who have actually lived it. “Venezuelan people are starving. Our kids go only twice a week to school. Our teachers earn $1 a day. That’s the reality of Venezuela,” Machado said during the interview, and she’s not exaggerating.
