Maduro's next stupid mistake: Aporrea

The next false step that Nicolás Maduro will give
By: Key Medina | Thursday, 02/28/2019 12:41 AM

translated from Spanish

It is easy to realize when a Government loses its calm and feels cornered, it does not coordinate its actions, it becomes erratic, therefore, by letting itself be carried away by its emotions, it commits the biggest mistakes and sinks, there are no advisors that can control a "ruler"" It's on the verge of sunset.

February 23 on the border was a reflection of that. Of course the madurismo did not have it easy, letting humanitarian aid pass was a defeat and not let it happen the same, they had to choose which was the least bad path, but ended up choosing the worst alternative to repress the volunteers who were ready to help that humanitarian action materialize. Not only that burned three trucks with the supplies and food that were on board, a very serious action that according to some opinions is a crime against humanity.

Faced with such an erratic elite, it is predictable to know what the next false step will be. Nicolás mature already pounced the possibility of imprisoning Juan Guaido, when they put prisoner to Leopoldo López the impact at international level was tremendous, both the pressure and the headache, had to agree to give him home for jail. You have to take into account some differences between one and the other, Lopez did not have the backing that the President of the AN has and yet it was complicated to the Government, imagine the suicidal error of putting Guaidó prisoner when he has the backing and recognition of a not insignificant amount of nations, more internally also has a lot of popularity. It would be a big miscalculation with catastrophic dimensions for the ruling elite and the nation.

Maduro and the Chavista hierarchy has doubled down (tripled down?) on the stupid. They can't help themselves any longer. They are so intent on preserving their last vestiges of power, nobody doubts for a second that they won't pull another, "Oh... we arrested him and treated him nicely, but his guilt was so overwhelming that he threw himself out of an unguarded 10 story window to his death in order to make us Chavistas look bad!"

FWIW, the Pemon "uprising" along the Brazilian border was quelled. It only took about 25 more indigenous peoples to get slaughtered before the Chavistas (GNB, colectivos) put them in their place.
