Venezuela's Maduro Brands Opposition ‘Terrorists' After Cutting Deal with Biden to Allow Elections
Name calling
[Breitbart] Venezuela’s socialist dictator, Nicolás Maduro, accused the Venezuelan “opposition” on Wednesday of being “terrorists and extremists” who operate “outside the Constitution and the law.”

Maduro’s accusation was specifically directed at the Unitary Platform, the latest iteration of the Venezuelan “opposition” coalition, which the socialist regime met with for negotiations in Barbados last year intended to culminate in a “free and fair” presidential election sometime in 2024.

The Maduro regime has repeatedly broken the Barbados agreement by upholding bans on political opponents from running for office and launching a new crackdown against dissidents. The “Barbados Agreements” were done under the observation of the administration of leftist American President Joe Biden.

As a reward for the Maduro regime’s vague promises — and despite Maduro showing no apparent interest in fulfilling them — Biden granted the socialist regime a generous oil and gas sanctions relief package, which is expected to expire in April.

Maduro accused the opposition of “terrorism” during a speech at the opening ceremony of Venezuela’s 2024 judicial year, where he remarked on the Venezuelan top court’s decision to uphold a ban on opposition presidential frontrunner María Corina Machado from holding public office.

#4 Well, up here in the States if you are a Christian, concerned parent of children in public school, or actually believe in the words of the Constitution, you are branded a terrorist.

#6 Is Maduro using a Colorado strategy or is Colorado using a Venezuelan strategy? The chicken egg question always makes me hungry for Cracker Barrel.
