After Chávez, Is Venezuela Still the U.S. Top Target for Regime Change?

Watch a 30-minute debate about the future of Venezuela on Democracy Now! at http://owl.li/k4SMp. Nicolás Maduro has won Venezuela's presidential election more than a month after the death of Hugo Chávez. Maduro, who was Chávez's chosen successor, narrowly defeated opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski with just over 50 percent of the vote. Capriles has refused to concede the race and is demanding a recount. Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, says U.S.-backed destabilization efforts in Venezuela since the Bush years have long emboldened the opposition's refusal to work with the Chávez government, raising the question of whether that dynamic will continue now that Chávez is gone.
