The Spin
Pro-Maduro narrative
Venezuela successfully exposed and thwarted a far-right false-flag bombing plot targeting the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. This terrorist scheme shows that the opposition is desperate — willing to create chaos and even to kill innocent civilians if needed — to justify continued foreign intervention in the country's own affairs.
Anti-Maduro narrative
If substantiated, these allegations would have been a bombshell. However, Maduro and his allies presented no evidence to back up their explosive claims about a bombing plot against the U.S. Embassy. These accusations have nothing to do with genuine security concerns, and they can only further damage the country's credibility.
