Venezuela decides: Anya Parampil on pivotal election

The Grayzone’s Anya Parampil, author of “Corporate Coup: Venezuela and the End of Empire,“ discusses the historically pivotal Venezuelan presidential election pitting socialist-oriented President Nicolas Maduro against the US-backed opposition, led by veteran coup plotter Maria Corina Machado. Parampil addresses the political stakes of the election, assessing it against the backdrop of years of regime change plots against Venezuela’s Chavista government, and explains how the US-backed opposition has been used by Washington to wrest key assets from the state, depriving it of resources and fueling mass migration. ||| The Grayzone ||| Find more reporting at Support our original journalism at Patreon: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Minds: Mastodon: @thegrayzone #TheGrayzone
