In reply to the discussion: The Ironies of the Venezuelan Opposition, part 21 - pre-planned violence in the National Assembly [View all]Catherina
(35,568 posts)33. self described brats of privilege sure do stick together. Maria Corina, another *winner* lol

hailed by National Review in 2006 as "the best of womankind and the difficult times many women face around the globe"
In another telling example of opposition frustrations, rightwing US favorite Maria Corina Machado stressed that her opposition competitors mustnt be naïve in thinking that this years presidential elections are some sort of democratic celebration.
Hinting at a possible US-backed intervention, Machado argued that the opposition must consider alternative options come October, including the use of undefined mechanisms necessary to defend the people. Machado later said in a press conference Wednesday that she would not allow the election to be stolen from her by President Chavez, claiming she would unquestionably be Venezuelas next president.
