No love lost between puppet groups #1 and #2. We're close to an open war between the more mainstream opposition parties and the extremist faction led by Guaidó and his mentor Leopoldo López. Exhibit A: an interview (in Spanish) by Humberto Calderón Berti
elnacional.com/venezuela/cald…

Calderón Berti is an operative from the old days, former minister and PDVSA president in the 80s and 90s. He feels the US interests should be served with a bit more decorum, as opposed to the rampant thievery and buffoonery of this circus known to some as the "interim govt"

Though he should have known better, Calderón Berti accepted to serve as pretend ambassador to Colombia in 2019. He resigned over disagreements over the handling of Monómeros, Colombia-based Vzlan agrochemical company that has filed for bankruptcy. He returns to it in this itw

"The person responsible for the Monómeros situation is Leopoldo López," he says, calling the far-right politician (and US favorite) "sectarian". He adds that opposition politicians paraded before Monómeros, asking for favors and proposing shady business deals

Calderón said the opposition used Monómeros like a "piñata", w/ leaders expecting the company to engage in this or that deal with their buddies. What was that about honesty and transparency? Also, Calderón is not just revealing this because he is committed to the truth

Long story short, the very lucrative firm is in peril. The Colombian govt wants to seize it, the opposition-appointed board has filed for bankruptcy. The Venezuelan govt has blasted the opposition's corrupt and treasonous actions and vowed to rescue the company. More on this soon
