📑🖊 OPINION | ‘Neoliberal and Authoritarian’? A Simplistic Analysis of the Maduro Government that Leaves Much Unsaid Steve Ellner dissects Gabriel Hetland’s simplistic critique of Maduro's government, calling it a one-sided take that ignores key facts. Hetland downplays the brutal impact of U.S. sanctions, like the blocking of bond negotiations and the Petro’s swift blacklisting, and misrepresents the government’s relationship with grassroots power. Ellner points to the 'Year of the Communes' and Ángel Prado’s appointment as proof of ongoing support for popular democracy. 🔗 Read the full opinion piece here: https://venezuelanalysis.com/opinion/neoliberal-and-authoritarian-a-simplistic-analysis-of-the-maduro-government-that-leaves-much-unsaid #Communes#NicolasMaduro#Sanctions
