Ian Bremmer: Fact Is on the Ground Maduro Is Still Running Things

EXCERPT:

BREMMER: "Guaido is a free man. He is on the streets, he is talking about having more demonstrations this weekend. But he’s also admitted that his effort to get the military to unseat Maduro has failed. It was not really coordinated with the United States, his hand was clearly pushed. He thought, I think, that he was going to be arrested with this big nationwide day of protests. The people in Venezuela, a lot of them don’t have information on what’s going on, Internet is spotty, electricity outages, and they’re tired, they are exhausted. They’ve been called for these demonstrations for months and months now, they wait in line for hours every day for food. It’s getting really challenging. And as much as the United States is saying, 'We recognize Juan Guaido as the legitimate president of the country,' the fact that on the ground Maduro is still running things. That doesn’t look like it’s changing at all right now."
