Brazil finds itself at the epicenter of the Venezuelan political crisis, but without a clear strategy on how to proceed, according to Thiago de Aragão, CEO of Arko Internacional in WW this Thursday (1st).
The expert analyzed the country’s position in relation to the elections in Venezuela and the international implications of this position.
According to Aragão, Brazil “placed itself at the center of history without necessarily knowing what it was going to do, without having designed scenarios that involved all possibilities.”
The statement comes after the release of crucial information about the Venezuelan electoral process.
Bolivarian regime
Thiago de Aragão highlighted the complexity of the political situation in Venezuela, warning that Nicolás Maduro is not the only, nor the most important, actor in the Bolivarian regime.
“There are others more important than him, like Diosdado Cabello [deputado da Assembleia Nacional da Venezuela]for example.”
Between 100 and 500 people in various areas of the government, executive, armed forces and PDVSA (Venezuelan state oil company) who exert more influence than Maduro. This diffuse power structure makes any negotiation complex, according to Aragão.
Visit by Celso Amorim
The special advisor to the Presidency for international affairs, Celso Amorim, went to Caracas in an invitation that could be seen as a “trap”, since, according to analysis, the Venezuelan government expected Amorim to argue that he saw everything “running normally”, which would give a point in Maduro’s favor.
Given this complex scenario, Aragão concludes that Brazil must act with caution so as not to “get itself into a hole that is difficult to get out of”, highlighting the need for a strategic and well-planned approach to deal with the Venezuelan situation.
