Political analyst Indira Urbaneja asserts that the most radical wing of Venezuela's opposition, having become desperate after the failed attempts to seize power in early January, has shifted to a strategy of destabilizing the country. According to her, this was prompted by a change of course from the United States, which, guided by pragmatism and considerations of energy security, began to view Nicolás Maduro's government as the only force capable of guaranteeing stability. Deprived of its previous full external support, the radicals have launched a twofold attack: a disinformation campaign to split supporters of the current government, and an outright economic boycott.
Urbaneja said this group is paying particular attention to efforts to derail Venezuela's economic recovery. To this end, they actively publish negative reports about the country's oil reserves in an attempt to scare off foreign investors and prevent the return of international oil companies and the restoration of air links. The analyst believes the ultimate goal of these actions is to prevent the consolidation of economic progress, since the country's full recovery would mean the final collapse of the radical opposition's hopes of coming to power by unconstitutional means.
