Not sure where you got that information but the right wing in Venezuela have been begging the USA to overthrow the democratically elected government in Venezuela for a couple decades now. They can't win the elections fair and square so they assassinate politicians and kill Venezuelans during riots. It's all documented on sites like Venezuelanalysis and CommonDreams. There's been a massive propaganda campaign against Venezuela since the late 1990's to try to get Venezuelans to give their resources to US corporations and their rich greedy Venezuelan opposition leaders (often who refuse to participate in elections the EU and other international bodies have called free and fair.)
Lol shows much of what you know but calling an imaginary right wing party in Venezuela even when all of them are open socialists.
The only thing people are begging for is for the socialist venezuelan government to stop murdering civilians left and right.
Oh but I'm sure you have a justification for that too.
I can't tell if you're being disingeneous or not so I'll probably stop engaging but I think Henrique Capriles, Guaido, the US State Department, and that crazy lady who wants the US to assassinate Maduro would disagree with your statement there is no right wing opposition in the country. Which BTW can and do participate in elections. They just pout and incite violence when they don't win.
Repeating something doesn't make it true.
I encourage you to read up on what's happening on Venezuela from multiple news sources. Try Venezuelanalysis.
How about you try living there. As I do and the rest of my family?
