CARACAS, Venezuela -- The U.S. government injected confusion into next year’s presidential election in Venezuela on Friday by incorrectly suggesting opposition leader Maria Corina Machado had filed an appeal to reverse her ban on running for office.

Machado subsequently sidestepped questions about whether she had been pressured by the Biden administration to appear before Venezuela’s highest court, but she made a veiled criticism of the U.S. comment, saying she wished she had been able to announce her actions herself.

Maria Corina Machado could maybe be allow to run for the presidency, but her chance to win it are minimal. Next year election is already rigged. No way the Maduro regime will accept defeat.

Padrino said the forces are “safeguarding our national sovereignty.”

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Condemnation of the Venezuelan government for its decision to block the presidential candidacy of an opposition leader strengthened Sunday when the Organization of American States declared the move eliminates any possibility of a free election this year.

The regional body in a statement said the decision announced Friday against María Corina Machado, as well as the recent “prosecution and political imprisonment of opponents,” was evidence the government of President Nicolás Maduro “had no intention of allowing” a clean election. That had been his commitment under a key agreement that earned him some relief from economic sanctions imposed by the United States.

CARACAS, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Venezuela's recent abrupt reversal in its nascent rapprochement with the United States and domestic opponents is likely a response to declining support among its traditional base, according to sources close to the ruling party, voters and analysts.

After months of thawing U.S. relations, the administration of President Nicolas Maduro has done a sharp about-face in recent weeks. It shuttered the United Nations' human rights office, the attorney general ordered the arrest of an activist, and the Supreme Court upheld a public office ban levied on the leading opposition candidate in this year's election.

The change may be borne of falling support for Maduro's government, two sources close to the ruling party and several analysts said.

Maduro’s regime has reverse its approach with the US due to the fact that opinion polls shows that only 25 of people support the regime. Maduro knows that he can’t not allow free elections because he will lose. He will not allow Maria Corina Machado to run and will persecute the political opponents. The election will be rig and the regime will remain in power. The only way to get rid of the regime is by the opposition boycotting the election, calling for a general strike and the people taking to the streets calling for the end of Maduro’s regime.
 
Chavez really made a mess out of a rich, rich country. But they voted for the jerk and now that the populist policies that persuaded the masses are dead, the man that took up the baton is now caught out holding the stick. Now he and the people will pay the price of the foolishness.
No, he didn't. The US did. And Maduro has done a lot wrong also. The poor were in terrible shape before Chavez, and the US has hurt the country a lot as punishment for helping them.
