A good example of the cynical concern of the Latin american elite for the plight of the poor (when it suits them). Machado and her ilk would NEVER have to trek across the Darien Gap and their understanding and genuine concern for the needs and rights of the poor majority are non-existent. That is precisely why these fools will never rule Venezuela despite the removal of Maduro.
