Who's walking left there?

On September 1, the most powerful opposition demonstration in the history of the country took place in Venezuela. The day before, President Dilma Rousseff was impeached in Brazil. Tectonic shifts are taking place in Latin America

In Venezuela, more than one million people participated in the action called "The Capture of Caracas". They demanded a nationwide referendum before the end of this year on the early resignation of President Nicolas Maduro.

And the day before, the Brazilian Senate removed President Dilma Rousseff by a two-thirds vote. The impeachment process against the once popular lady in the country, who heads the left-wing Workers' Party, has been ongoing since the end of last year. Ultimately, she was found guilty of manipulating statistics and financial manipulation in the last election to please the ruling party.

Speaking in her defense in Congress, Rousseff suddenly remembered Vladimir Mayakovsky. “I want to end my speech with an excerpt from the most beautiful work of the Russian poet Mayakovsky,” she said. “We have nothing to be happy about, but nothing to be sad about. Stormy water of history.

Nicolas Maduro, most likely, does not even know who Mayakovsky is - not the education and the wrong horizons. Yes, he is now and not up to poetry. The demonstration of the opposition in the capital of the country is only the first in a series of large-scale protests. The next will be the "Take of Venezuela", and, according to opposition leaders, about 8 million Venezuelans, more than a quarter of the country's population, will take part in it.

Maduro is experiencing one panic attack after another. On the day of the demonstration, he announced the disclosure of an anti-government conspiracy, in which 92 members of a certain Colombian paramilitary gang participated, and with their help, the opposition forces of Venezuela, according to the president, were preparing the country for an "imperialist fascist ambush."

The anger of the Venezuelan authorities was also caused by the removal of Dilma Rousseff from power. In this they also saw the intervention of US imperialism and its fifth column. Maduro expressed his full solidarity with Rousseff and branded on his Twitter page the impeachment against her as "a coup d'état carried out by the right-wing oligarchy." On the day the Brazilian Senate's verdict was announced, the Venezuelan government recalled its ambassador from Brasilia.

In the last century, the military of Latin America came to power through coups without asking the opinion of legislators and citizens. But times have changed - now every president can be under the sword of Damocles of justice - someone for fraud with finances, like Rousseff, someone for blatant incompetence, which brought the country to the brink of mass starvation, like Maduro.

But events in the continent's two largest countries paint a different picture. The "Left March" sung by Mayakovsky in relation to Latin America is over. In Brazil, the political trial of the president ended a 13-year era of left-wing rule. Prior to this, Argentina put an end to years of populism under the pink flag of Christina Kirchner. Evo Morales, the "cocaine president" of Bolivia, did not receive the coveted right to take over the presidency for the fourth time. The former bus driver Nicolás Maduro and, in the future, the ruling regime in the country, founded by Hugo Chavez, have no chance of political survival: 75% of the country's citizens are in favor of removing Chavistas from power.

So, paraphrasing Vladimir Vladimirovich, you can ask: “Who is walking with the left?” There are no such. You have already driven the horse of history. So right, comrades, right!
