The opposition presidential candidate María Corina Machado and tech mogul Elon Musk had a virtual showdown on social media, discussing the current state of Venezuela. Musk criticized the socialist regime of Chávez for destroying the country’s economy, while Machado emphasized the Venezuelan people’s fight for freedom and democracy.
Machado has been actively seeking international support for the opposition cause, despite facing disqualification and intimidation from the Maduro regime. She has been writing letters to leaders of 18 countries, urging them to pay attention to the violations of the Barbados Agreement and the lack of electoral guarantees in Venezuela.
Meanwhile, the United States government has called for the Maduro regime to uphold its end of the agreements signed in Barbados last year. The US has given Maduro until April 18 to decide on renewing oil licenses issued to the US.
As tensions escalate in Venezuela, with more arrests and restrictions on freedom of expression, the international community is closely watching the situation. Machado and Musk’s exchange on social media sheds light on the complex political dynamics in the country.
