Socialist Morena: Trump punished the Venezuelan right-wingers.
"In principle, the tightening of US border controls on the inhabitants of the South American country would focus on diplomats and officials, but the rest of the population will also be subject to greater control. In other words, to target Nicolás Maduro, Trump penalized the Venezuelan 'coxinhas' (a derogatory term for right-wingers), who will now have their trips to Miami made more difficult," says journalist Cynara Menezes, the socialist brunette.
From the blog Socialist Morena - US President Donald Trump has decided to replace the controversial travel ban on six Muslim-majority countries, which expired today, with... a decree which imposes restrictions on eight nations, including Venezuela. In principle, the tightening of US borders for the inhabitants of the South American country would focus on diplomats and officials, but the rest of the population will also be subject to greater control. In other words, to target Nicolás Maduro, Trump penalized the Venezuelan "coxinhas" (a derogatory term for right-wingers), who will now have difficulty traveling to Miami.
The other countries on the US president's "blacklist" are: Chad, Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, and, of course, North Korea. According to the text, the problem with Venezuela is that "its government does not cooperate in checking whether its citizens pose a threat to national security or public safety," which does not seem to be true, since the decree itself admits that the country complies with international requirements. The burden falls on the wealthier classes, precisely Maduro's greatest adversaries—the "squalid ones," as Hugo Chávez called them. Last week, at the UN General Assembly, Trump had already referred to the Maduro government as a "socialist dictatorship."
