“The [U.S.] administration is hoping to starve the regime of financial resources,” said AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth to McClatchy on sanctions against Maduro.

“It speaks to Guaidó’s high popularity” that he was able to return to the country without being arrested, AS/COA's Brian Winter told The Washington Post.

"No se puede esperar que el de Maduro sea un régimen imparcial en unas elecciones presidenciales", explica Guillermo Zubillaga de AS/COA. 

"The real issue is what needs to be done by the international community to get Maduro out of Venezuela," said AS/COA vice president.

Nearing the midpoint of his presidency, Lenín Moreno is overseeing a soft landing after the excesses of his predecessor.

Nicolás Maduro’s violent repression of aid efforts has put the opposition and its international partners in a delicate position.

"The key is to keep the Maduro regime on the defensive," writes AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth in The National Interest.
