Socialist
regime associates were arrested after occupying the Venezuelan Embassy to the
United States in an effort to block the transfer of the embassy to diplomats loyal to the de jure
President Juan Guaido.
The
far-right Vice-Chancellor of Austria resigned yesterday after a hidden
videotape surfaced of him arranging for political contributions from Russia . His far-right party is the junior partner of
the leading center-right party in the government coalition. The Russian
Federation ’s authoritarian and kleptocratic tyrant,
Vladimir Putin, supports not only far-left parties in Europe ,
but also far-right nationalist ones. The
scandal has led the Chancellor to ask the President for elections as soon
as possible and also effect next week’s European parliamentary elections, where
“sovranist” parties are trying to gain a plurality. The President today set elections for
September, although not with a specific date.
The Government had enjoyed majority support, but now the center-right ruling party can no longer remain in coalition with the far-right party
it needed in order to obtain the majority of parliamentary seats necessary to
govern.
The conservative coalition won an upset in the Australian parliamentary elections yesterday
over the liberal party, although slightly shy of a majority, so far. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has held office
for only four months after the change in leadership of the main center-right
party. Australia
has been a strong ally of the United
States in the War on Terrorism and against
other threats, as it had been during the Cold War.
