A comment on my post reads: "Now there really are Venezuelans dancing in the streets." When Trump made his comment earlier that Venezuelans were happy and dancing in the streets at the removal of Maduro, they were not. Of course, many people were overjoyed, jubilant, relieved and shocked at his capture, but they couldn't celebrate out of fear of detention. They were nervous and scared given that other chavista figures remained in power, dubious that repression would disappear. There have been some small and modest protests once again this year, but none like the ones that will be about to come. Opposition supporters have been waiting for this day, for Maria Corina Machado to return. Although she is not in power and there is still no election date, her return undoubtedly gives her supporters a huge boost - and so yes, now there are Venezuelans dancing in the streets.
