Maduro waited for them to reach a nice round number before sending in the goon squad

Much like the Maduro regime, the Newsom regime is also under attack.

A "This proves Maduro is cracking down on dissent" article is going to happen for this though, if it's even reported on at all, and the question is which rag does it first.

What an amateur mistake to try and collect signatures in Venezuela when they could have just done it in the US.

There's only 2.3 million Cuban-Americans so it still wouldn't be enough signatures. Only about 500k Venezuelan-Americans. Not even enough combined.

Why would you want a recall against Maduro anyway? Juan Guaido is the internationally widely recognized, legitimate, Interim President of Venezuela!

Castillo seems to be having trouble with his administration. He's forming his third cabinet (Consejo de Ministros) in 6 months after the resignation of 2 ministers including the head of the cabinet or primera ministra Mirtha Vásquez.

The latest crisis happened because the Interior Minister (Avelino Guillen, former public attorney who put Fujimori behind bars and has a spotless reputation) accused the high officers of the PNP (National Police) of corruption and opposed some reshuffling of officers (and wanted to promote some other officers). Since that was in the hands of the president and the president said and did jack poo poo about it, Avelino Guillen took it as a sign that the president was supporting the cop brass and sent a letter of resignation. Castillo then said "porque no los dos" and accepted the letter of resignation AND fired the Police General which precipitated most factions to be mad at him and the rest of the Cabinet, who stood by Guillén, to resign as well

I mean to be fair a large reason the Coup failed is because Anez decided to antagonize literally everyone that wasn’t her narrow base.

It also failed because MAS is a legitimately popular and activist political movement with strong support from Bolivia's workers, which meant that even cut off from all the levers of institutional power they could still mobilize enough popular support to shut down the entire economy unless Anez ceded power. There's not much you can do, even with the police and military on your side, when most of the country refuses to work and even shooting them doesn't make them start again.

Yes it's strange to give so much of the credit to the CIA being idiots/Anez instead of the resiliency of the people fighting against the coup.
