Hostile climate and fear of Justice: why Nicolás Maduro finally did not come to Argentina

The frustrated trip of Nicolás Maduro to Argentina must be read at

and in

.

As it rarely does precisely for security reasons,

place in the streets during a new anniversary of the insurrection and coup that overthrew the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jimenez, and that Chavismo appropriated.

In that march he only celebrated that Argentina and Brazil are talking about a possible common currency.

Nothing more. 

To tell the truth, Chavismo was well trained in security methodology and Cuban intelligence, Maduro did what he always does and what Fidel Castro also did at the time.

Everything was supposed to be in order and even Alberto Fernández's statements to Folha de São Paulo and this Monday together with Lula they considered him welcome.

He said that he was "more than invited", he is a member of CELAC.

But he said it when there was already a
