Analyst Juan Carlos Monedero: Extremist right wing still bets that Venezuela is doing badly

The Spanish political scientist Juan Carlos Moneder or, this Monday, March 30, assured that the actions of the Venezuelan extreme right persist, which are betting that the country is doing poorly economically. For them, having any option to enter and seize political power is a mistake that does not favor anyone.

In an interview with the program A Pulso, via Zoom, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión, he considered erratic the calls for sanctions made by some figures of the extreme right, to make the “Venezuelan economy squeal, so that the economy suffers,” he said when asked about how the right will go, now that the United States recognizes the president in charge of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, as the highest authority in Venezuela.

Monedero made a comparison with Spain and stressed that the right wing is annoyed that the level of employment improves, that the people are empowered, because that affects their expectations of governance.

He said that in Madrid “they have stolen more than a breath, they are sighing to see if the Spanish right wing wins, because people like Leopoldo López, Antonio Ledezma and company will have to be held to account, because they will not tolerate their levels of corruption”.

He assured that the great task facing the Venezuelan State is to be more efficient in its management policy, that it serves the majority, that Venezuela can make up for the time lost due to sanctions, because of stigmatization, the great task is to give new impetus to the transformations that the country needs.

On the other hand, Monedero analyzed the persistent media war against Venezuela and the use of discrediting narratives to attack left-wing governments.

He also addressed the recent controversy over an article that asserted an alleged negotiation at Barajas airport with businessman Víctor Aldama, where six million barrels of crude oil would have been negotiated to finance the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (USSR).

The Spanish analyst was emphatic in pointing out that these allegations are not isolated events, but are part of a communication strategy sustained for decades to attack the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

“They cannot be dismissed because they have been pointing to Venezuela as the universal villain for 20 years,” he said.

In the opinion of the political scientist, after having carefully constructed a negative image of the Caribbean country, the great centers of media power now use that narrative as a tool of political blackmail.

The objective, he explained, is to compare and discredit any left-wing administration, under the premise that “everything that comes close to or is close to Venezuela is bad.”

Monedero stressed that this information responds to a constant attack.
