This is a direct quote from the news. But, to keep in mind, under Chavez, Delcy was irrelevant figure. Maduro polished her up, and she leaped to power in his regime. No one elected her, and no one ever will not even the leftists.

Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez is facing growing resistance from an unlikely source: the leftist movement that brought her to power https://t.co/xoxSuWKmrg

Salt Bae may be the most accurate fake-leftist detector on earth. First, he exposed Maduro enjoying gold-covered steaks while Venezuelans starved. Now AMLO's son shows up at the private opening of Nusr-Et. Forget ideology, just follow the steak and selfies https://t.co/sInvaQK44d

President Trump weighs in on the Colombian elections endorsing Abelardo. Strong endorsement!

A few years ago, proposing private investment in strategic infrastructure could have landed you in jail. Today, Chavismo unanimously approves opening Venezuela's electricity sector to private investors. What was once condemned is now the literally official policy.

Rubio says Venezuela needs free and fair elections
WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers on Tuesday that Venezuela needs a government that is chosen through free and fair elections,

@ACOSTARU I was simply quoting the statement from the news article. The arrangement in which Cuba provided doctors in exchange for subsidized oil has always been problematic.

@STHGibbs Not just Latam but also in the US. Remember 2020 elections.

Trump, Latin Amerika'da seçimleri kazanmasını istediği adaylara açık destek vermekten çekinmiyor. Bu örnekler, Erdoğan'ın hazırlanacağı olası bir seçim döneminde Trump'ın nasıl bir tutum sergileyebileceğine dair de önemli ipuçları veriyor.

Arjantin'de Milei hükümetine yaklaşık 20 milyar dolarlık ekonomik destek sağladı. Honduras'ta, ABD'de uyuşturucu kaçakçılığı suçundan 45 yıl hapis cezası alan eski Devlet Başkanı Juan Orlando Hernández'i affederken, aynı siyasi çizgideki aday Nasry Asfura'ya da açık destek verdi. Brezilya'da ise Lula karşıtı söylemler sürerken, Bolsonaro ailesiyle temaslar devam ediyor.

Bu tabloya bakınca, Trump'ın seçim öncesinde Erdoğan'a ekonomik, diplomatik veya siyasi açıdan bir "kıyak" geçmesi beklenir.

very interesting report from Jefferies today on @TheTerminal, suggesting the US could potentially offer an Argentina-style dollar swap line to Turkey ahead of elections

With no political experience, Abelardo presents himself as an "outsider", a successful and independent businessman.

He admires the administrations of Presidents Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, Javier Milei in Argentina, and Donald Trump in the U.S. https://t.co/D2FQLtHrOo

Venezuela–Türkiye hattındaki uçuşlar yeniden radarda. Venezuela’ya ait başkanlık uçağı İstanbul VIP Terminali’ne iniyor, yaklaşık 3,5 saat bekledikten sonra tekrar Venezuela’ya dönüyor. Maduro gitti ama bu sır uçuşlar hala devam ediyor.

I don't think Washington will ever fully listen to this and may even see it as unnecessary noise. But it's an important message that needs to be pushed. It will take time to prepare the institutions, both inside and outside the country, for truly free and fair elections in 🇻🇪.

100% agree.

Venezuela policy is not being dictated by Venezuelans and is completely decided by American politics.

A single Pennsylvania voter has more of a say about the future of the democratic transition in Venezuela than the Venezuelan people themselves.

It’s a difficult pillow to swallow but it’s the truth.

Google traduce la interpretación que hace @imdat_oner del “Manifiesto de Panamá”: “Trump ganó de nuevo. MCM no logró atraerlo hacia la ‘máxima presión’ sobre Delcy y el cambio de régimen a través de una rápida agenda electoral. En cambio, Trump empujó su campamento hacia una pista de negociación con Delcy.

Cualquier transición en Venezuela ahora parece gradual y negociada a través de la era Trump. Lo que venga después dependerá de quién controle la próxima administración de los Estados Unidos y sus prioridades hacia Venezuela”
