In this episode, Alex gives a full breakdown and background on the recent election in Venezuela. Most reports show that the opposition movement, unified under María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia, won close to 80% of the vote. However, the authoritarian and entrenched regime of Nicolás Maduro declared victory, only with 51% of the vote (which is telling for an autocracy). Now the Venezuelan people are angry, María Corina is in hiding, and Alex (amongst others) worries that the worst is yet to come while the clock is also ticking on Maduro’s time in power.
