These are not areas where "right-wingers**" have any support. These are people who have supported Chavismo in the past, only to get repeatedly thrown under the bus.

**There are very few, IF ANY true mainstream "right wing" parties left in Latin America. Most mainstream political parties are centrist to center left.
