Evo Morales, Maduro's last ally in the region, also takes a distance

There was a time when Chavismo was an badet to campaign in Latin America, but these times seem far away now. One by one,
Venezuela's allies have begun to turn the page to stand out from Nicolás Maduro's regime, condemned by the majority of the international community. The left-wing candidate defeated in Brazil,
Fernando Haddad said that the Venezuelan government "is not democratic". Also the leftist candidate defeated in Colombia, the former guerrilla
Gustavo Petro, not only badured that the Bolivarian leader is a "dictator" but "kills".

In the last days and when there are three months left for the elections,
The Uruguayan left has opened a debate on support for the Caribbean country following statements by the Minister of the Economy and head of the moderate current of the ruling Danilo Astori, supported by the official candidate Daniel Martínez and the president. former president José Mujica. But the last to join the line was the president of Bolivia,
Evo Morales, absent from the last edition of the Forum San Pablo.

"The San Pablo Forum is clear and reliable proof that we are more united than ever, from a moral, spiritual and political point of view," Nicolás Maduro published on his Twitter account, titled The Edition XXV of "success". Forum of parties and groups of the Latin American left, has ended Sunday in Caracas and has gathered more than 700 leaders and leaders, "according to the Venezuelan president,".

But Evo Morales, a historical ally of Venezuela, decided this time to follow the advice of the president of Brazil, the far-right party.
Jair Bolsonaro, who suggested that he's moving away from the left-wing forum. Instead, he sent a delegation led by Socialist Movement (MAS) Secretary of International Relations Juanita Ancieta. "Bolivia has not sent an official delegation to the Forum as a state," acknowledged Foreign Minister Diego Pary.

Far from its anti-imperialist statements, it seems that
Morales, who attended the inauguration of Bolsonaro and called him brother on his Twitter accounthe could change sides now that Brazil is his "strategic partner".

Historical allies

When most countries in the Americas rejected the presidential elections held in Venezuela in May 2018 and allowed President Nicolás Maduro to triumph, a handful of Caracas allies in the region extended warm congratulations.

However, the absence of Evo Morales at the Sao Paulo Forum, to be held from 25 to 28 July in Caracas, could mean a break in the narrow "fraternity".
