Nicolás Maduro está "adoptando plenamente un modelo de dictadura total al estilo de Nicaragua", dice el vicepresidente de Políticas de AS/COA al diario.

Nicolás Maduro "has shut the door on any hope for peaceful change" in Venezuela, says AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth to The Boston Globe.

"El miedo a convertirse en 'otra Venezuela' está en todas partes", dice Brian Winter de AS/COA a La Tercera.

Joe Biden "adoptó una posición a la brasileña, de cautela estratégica" con respecto a la situación en Venezuela, dice Brian Winter de AS/COA a La Nación.
