Readers' blog: Maduro was fairly elected in Venezuela

As I write the US is organising the groundwork for a coup in Venezuela. Things are progressing along a tried and tested plan which was used in Chile in 1973 and recently in Ukraine.

Unlike Chile in 1973, so far the Venezuelan military has remained loyal to the government and state and has not conspired with the US. As a result the US has pimped a US educated puppet to the position of “Interim” president, a position that does not exist in Venezuela.
