A context with good and bad for Maduro

Ripe He is not going through his best moment in his country or in his relationship with the United States. In Venezuela, teachers, public employees and other unions carry out protests against low wages.

The Venezuelan president found a more pleasant context after the war in Ukraine; the energy crisis; the United States’ need for oil despite its good relations with Russia, China and Iran, and the willingness of Lula and the new Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, to build diplomatic bridges with Caracas.
