Milan, Jan. 3 (LaPresse) – "Venezuela is (or rather: would be) one of the most beautiful and richest countries in the world. Maduro’s fierce dictatorship has deprived millions of Venezuelans of freedom, and often of food. Venezuela without Maduro is a better country, without ifs or buts. The ways in which Trump interprets the role of the United States are obviously highly open to criticism or debate. And to give a complete judgment we will have to wait for the next few hours." This was written on Facebook by the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi. "But in the meantime, the fact remains that the world is increasingly tangled and no one seems able to govern it. Multilateral institutions are not working, theaters of war are becoming ever more numerous, and Europe, as usual, is sidelined. Because we focus on bureaucracy and ideology, while Brussels does not know what foreign policy is. These will be difficult years full of complex challenges. We will try to play a role, also as Italy. But if you ask me today for a judgment on the Maduro affair, do not ask me to be sad: today Venezuela is a better country than yesterday. And let us hope that the young people of Caracas today, like those of Tehran tomorrow, can return to tasting freedom," Renzi concluded.
