  7. Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado ‘kidnapped’, allies say

    Their gameplan has been very clear to me from day one: the gameplan is to take control of the streets [with security forces and police]; create an environment of terror so that people think twice before any kind of action against the government or any kind of protest; neutralize any network that might threaten them; consolidate their power within police departments and the military … and proceed as if nothing were happening. That is what they are doing … and, from Maduro’s point of view, things are going swimmingly.
