I'm John Batch with my two colleagues, Ernesto Arousa, former Foreign Minister of the

Republic of Brazil and Alejandro Pinias Sclusa, a Venezuelan writer and geopolitical strategist.

Alejandro, I bring you news again that looks very positive for Venezuela and for the region.

Last week, you gave us a report that there was widely

He lost his ally in St. Vincent and the Grand Ames in the Caribbean,

which was the second contractor, Cuba, most related to Venezuela.

There are other two right wings, Nasri Asfura and Salvador Nasralla, who are fighting for the first place, and they have each around 40% of the vote.

So this is a major blow against Maduro.
