Episode Synopsis


PREVIEW. Security Concerns and Political Legitimacy Risks in Venezuela. Mary Anastasia O'Grady at the Wall Street Journal editorial page discusses how Venezuela's opposition is ready on day one, having drawn up plans for a new government. Edmundo González, the president-elect (in exile), has legitimacy with an estimated 70% of the vote from the July 2024 election. However, security is the main concern, as the government must guarantee it. Whoever possesses the guns and tanks will call the shots, threatening the rule of law and the new democracy.
