A Temper Tantrum is Never Beautiful

A Temper Tantrum is Never Beautiful / Fernando Damaso

Fernando Damaso, 11 December 2015 — The temper tantrum of President
Nicolas Maduro and his Chavistas, in addition to being tragic, is
comical. Now, after losing the National Assembly, won cleanly through
the will of Venezuelans by the opposition, he's rushing around trying to
approve laws and regulations before the handover of power, with the
objective of keeping his supporters in the government, in the name of a
supposed defense of the workers. It's like sticking corks into a boat
that is taking on water.

Maduro's demonstrated inability as president, along with the clownish
bird that gave him directions, and his multiple mistakes, are the main
causes of his failure and of the failure of Chavismo. Blaming the
opposition media, the national and international right, the "empire" and
others supposedly at fault, is nothing more than the sad lament of a
loser, incapable of recognizing and honestly accepting his defeat.

Accusing the opposition-victors of being counterrevolutionaries and
mercenaries, the people for whom most Venezuelans voted, is accusing the
voters as well of being counterrevolutionaries and mercenaries. These
ravings demonstrate his political incompetence and his lack of tact
in dealing intelligently with an adverse situation.

If the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) wants to ever have a
shred of credibility and regain the support of a majority of
Venezuelans, it should start by getting rid of the ballast represented
by Maduro, Diosdado Cabello and other losers, including Maduro's wife,
Cilia Flores, whom he calls not his "First Lady" but rather his "First
Fighter."
