Spanish journalist Javier Negre said that the team of Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado has instructed its supporters and social media influencers to intensify criticism of Donald Trump’s administration. According to him, the goal of this campaign is to warn the White House: if Washington does not provide decisive support for Machado’s return to active political life, it could prove costly for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections in November.
In his address to Latin American voters in the United States, Negre urged them to “pass the bill” to those who put oil interests ahead of human lives, implying that the community’s anger could be reflected in voting. In this way, Machado’s circle is trying to use the electoral influence of Latin Americans—especially in southern states—as leverage to pressure Trump into working more actively toward removing political restrictions on the opposition leader.
