The situation of left-wing forces in Latin American countries became more complicated after the death of Hugo Chavez in 2013, and conservative parties came to power in several countries, including Mexico, Ecuador and Peru.

The Russian journalist, Neil Nikandrov, said in a report published by the Russian Strategic Center for Cultures that the United States is pursuing its opponents in countries south of the Rio Grande river with mad enthusiasm.

He explained that the Monroe Doctrine - which called for the independence of the countries of the Western Hemisphere from the influence of Europe and the rest of the world - is still the main principle framing the foreign policy of the United States, which rejects the interference of China and Russia in the affairs of South America.


The writer pointed out that the extent of American sabotage is evident through a series of revealing publications in the Colombian magazine "Raya", which obtained secret materials revealing espionage methods in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Nikandrov indicated that the Cuban file contains - according to what was published by "Raya" - thousands of important materials, and reports on monitoring Cuban politicians, diplomats, commercial representatives and journalists in Colombia, where the contacts of the Cuban representatives were followed to know the usual working relations of the Cubans with Colombian politicians, and various personalities.

Nikandrov quoted Raya as saying that the Cubans were monitored around the clock, and the correspondence of the Cuban ambassador, his wife, and journalists were also monitored.


Cuban model

According to the writer, the Americans are trying to persuade Cuba to abandon its position, after it has become a symbol of successful confrontation with the United States.

The evidence is the overwhelming results of the vote on the United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the lifting of the US blockade on Liberty Island, where the Cuban resistance kept millions of people believing in the invincibility of the US empire.

The writer added that Cuba's allies from Venezuela to Nicaragua are going through difficult times now under the pressure of "the English-speaking invaders."

But Chávez's successor, President Nicolás Maduro, is alarming Americans with his confidence in the ultimate victory of the Bolivarian Revolution. He is so confident of victory that in the future he plans to return to his former job as a bus driver.


Nikandrov reported that the US embassy's department for Venezuela, operating from Colombia's territory, provided support to Juan Guaido, whose failure to overthrow Nicolás Maduro demonstrated Washington's failure towards Venezuela.

The report stated that Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega adopted several "preemptive strikes" that confused the CIA, as he refused to receive the US ambassador, Hugo Rodriguez, and then ordered the expulsion of the European Union ambassador, Bettina Moschedet, who called for the release of political prisoners and immediate democratic change.

He also severed diplomatic relations with the Netherlands under the pretext of his rejection of the "policy of intervention", and the last measure was the expulsion of 200 opponents from the country with the subsequent confiscation of their property.
