i mean even or opponents of mr maduro within venezuela might consider that to be a bit ofa venezuelabe a bit of a stretch, would least slightly incendiary. well, i don't know what opponents of mr maduro have talked to, but i have and i have talked to, but i have and i have seen things already on the internet tonight about the opposition in venezuela speculating that the government may very well have done this. i mean it is not unusual. again, among right—wing or left—wing dictatorships and authoritarian governments to organise a self true. or an incident that would justify a crack down, and even what happened in turkey a year ago, a lot of people suspect may have been organised by the are the one administration in order to justify the enormous civil rights, civil liberties crackdown that followed. —— erdogan administration. it is not unusual as it is certainly not incendiary. i was nudging a little bit there. what are the avenues available now for the maduro administration, because clearly he will not be able to carry on with any kind of support or semblance of legitimacy from the op

it is a lot like venezuela. caracas and in major cities, essentially financed by the government and have access to semi-automatic weapons. and even in some cases, government training. in 2014 and 2017, they had big events in venezuela like these who also repressed protesters. two, ortega retains the loyalty of the armed forces forces, just like nicolas maduro. in the world can this government can't to need to exist given the level of unrest in the country, and the economic problems the country is facing? well very clearly, if you have the support of the army -- those people who have the guns are the ones who are able to call the shots. as long as ortega can retain the that nicolasway maduro has in venezuela, it seems likely that he will continue in office. has shown aa willingness just like nicolas maduro, to do anything and everything to remain in power. whether or not the exit cost is is just, or whether he addicted to power, he doesn't want to step down, and that means that he is willing to kill his own popul

and thirdly, it's more diversified than the economy of venezuela. at the same time, it depends on foreign trade for its subsistence. it's a very small economy and as in all small accounts depend a lot on foreign trade and it depends a lot on financial inflow from the lending organizations, such as the -- order and also bilateral cooperation. and many and many use the international system for financial benefit. so i think the u.s. could put together a lot of pressure. the act shows that they should oppose any financing of nicaragua by lending institutions while there is no real democracy in the country and the repression is growing. you have three or four years old, and lots of proof by the house of representatives in 2017, but expanding in the senate. so, that would be a good step forward and we're also using the financial systems. you know, all the problem of the national financial systems comes through the u.s. so you could use that as a leverage, especially gains particularly members of the nicaragua regime. >> that being said, i'll just add, my
