Venezuela regime displays all its capacity for repression and intimidation 72 hours before the inauguration

Venezuela’s Chavista regime has deployed all its capacity for repression and intimidation 72 hours before Inauguration Day on Friday. In a country sealed off by the police and the military, opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia’s son-in-law was arrested early on Tuesday, and just hours later drones began flying over the house of opposition leader María Corina Machado’s mother, who was left without electricity due to power cuts in that area.
