A wind of hope has risen. On Sunday, July 28, Venezuelans are called to the polls for what promises to be a historic election. A quarter of a century after the “Bolivarian revolution” launched by Hugo Chavez, the outgoing president, Nicolas Maduro, faces the candidate invested by the opposition, Edmundo Gonzalez, who is leading the voting intentions.
At the end of a path strewn with pitfalls, the opposition wants to believe in its chances of turning the page on Chavism. But many wonder about the possibility of a victory at the ballot box, while Maduro locks the vote and claims the support of the army.
