US Backs Coup in Oil-Rich Venezuela, Right-Wing Opposition Plans Mass Privatization and Hyper-Capitalism<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The US has effectively declared a coup in Venezuela. Trump recognized unelected right-wing opposition leader Juan Guaid\u00f3 as new \u201cpresident,\u201d who plans mass privatization and neoliberal capitalist policies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States has effectively declared a political coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in Venezuela, from abroad. Trump announced on January 23 that the US recognizes the unelected, illegitimate right-wing opposition leader Juan Guaid\u00f3 as the supposed new \u201cinterim president\u201d of Venezuela\u2019s supposed new \u201cgovernment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venezuela\u2019s US-backed opposition has pledged to carry out a mass privatization of state assets and to implement harsh neoliberal capitalist policies. The opposition-controlled legislatures declared in its \u201ctransition\u201d plans that the \u201ccentralized model of controls of the economy will be replaced by a model of freedom and market based on the right of each Venezuelan to work under the guarantees of property rights and freedom of enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The citizens of Venezuela have suffered for too long at the hands of the illegitimate Maduro regime. Today, I have officially recognized the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as the Interim President of Venezuela.\u2714<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US has also hinted at violence in Venezuela. During a background briefing after Trump\u2019s declaration, journalist Dan Cohen<\/a> heard a US official declare that if the government of actual President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro responds with any violence, \u201cThey have no immediate future, they have no immediate livelihood. One way or another they have their days counted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump administration officials added<\/a>, \u201cWhen we say all options are on the table, all options are on the table\u2026 Let\u2019s hope Maduro and his cronies see the magnitude of the message.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
