Yeah imagine if your country was plagued by anti-presidential protests, where people were killed in the riots and having a record low approval rating...
AFAIK the Euro didn't depreciate 1 million percent . French people aren't starving, and Macron doesn't have a record low approval rating (it's actually picking up ATM).
And he's far from the least popular president. He's not even the least popular in the last 15 years.
For the US to support a middling opposition politician with a history of violence in order to take a shot at this country's oil reserves is one thing. And, for the right-leaning governments of Latin America to support a republican-run US is another. But I am surprised by Europe's eagerness to underwrite the United States in pushing for non-constitutional regime change in a country that, it seemed, was off the European radar.
(Just in case; Maduro has presided over a failing country, not in the least because of his doing. But, not agreeing with the US view on Venezuela does not mean agreeing with Maduro.)
