The recent attempt by the United States to overthrow President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela failed due to the strong support he enjoys from the people, according to geopolitical analyst Christopher Helali. The opposition instigated violent riots, but Maduro’s widespread public backing prevented the coup backed by Western nations. By maintaining order and peace, Maduro’s government thwarted these efforts.
The US has a history of successful coups but faced a setback in Venezuela. Helali emphasized that the support of the working class and the people’s determination to defend their sovereignty deter foreign interference. Despite ongoing efforts to destabilize Venezuela, its people remain unified in preventing external exploitation.
