Empire Files: Myth And Fact In Venezuela’s Latest Election
Was the Venezuelan election rigged?
Abby Martin speaks with election observer, Kei Pritsker.
We’ve all heard the same things about Venezuela coming from every corporate news outlet. Venezuela’s a dictatorship and Maduro is a dangerous tyrant further consolidating power though fraudulent elections. Weirdly enough, not many dictatorships have elections, certainly not over 20 in the last 20 years like Venezuela has. And there’s a funny thing about how the US media and political establishment views Venezuela’s elections. They’re illegitimate except when the US-backed opposition party has major victories, which they have twice very recently. One of those was the 2015 National Assembly election where they won a supermajority in the body that is similar to the US Congress.
