La révolte anti-bolivarienne s’essouffle. Faute d’arriver à mobiliser les Vénézuéliens, les « insurgés » des beaux quartiers et leurs sponsors états-uniens tentent de mobiliser les diplomates au siège washingtonien de l’OEA (l’Organisation des Etats américains). Le chercheur français Salim Lamrani, décortique ce nouvel échec du Département d’Etat.
