    Well anyhow they had one in 2023 like I mentioned.

    By the logic of power, wouldn’t that be the candidate supported by the US to reprivatice the oil production? In that case, how much does that victory count as the will of the people?

      Probably, but idk. Also most countries outsource their oilwinnings anyway. The question is to whom indeed, and what kind op deal they’ll make. Right now, afaik, the oiloutput is just a margin of what it was ( see graph).

      In the end that’s something the representatives of the people will have to decide when the times come, and hopefully they make a right choice, or maybe they are corrupt. We’ll see. Usually Venezuelans ( which have a strong socialist history) don’t like and trust the USA very much, so maybe not? Or maybe they’re despepate and will go to extreme right, like Argentina. Venezuela is now a very very bad place to live in, the people are desperate.

      EDIT: " Maria Corina Machado is a very capable politician. She’s captured the imagination of the vast majority of Venezuelans, as was evidenced by her victory in the primary and then having her second substitute, Edmundo Gonzalez, win an overwhelming electoral victory in July of last year. " According to an interesting politico article also centre right politically according to wiki This means it’s like 90% that she’ll work with Trump. So your assessment was correct.
