Question for South American lemmings (slrpnk.net)

I’d like to hear from people who are living in the region, what specific things Nicholas Maduro did that made him notably bad. I realize that I live in an American media bubble, so the coverage I see is biased.

From Maduro's part. They are deeply incompetent.
The Oil is a curse. It could be a blessing if people knew how to use it. Chavez thought he knew, he was wrong. The Saudi's know. They have a lot of skeletons in their closet, yet it seems like receiving their money is not big problem. Branding.

Bukele can rule over El Salvador as he please because he is a The Gang Buster. Branding.

Peru can have as many presidents as they like without affecting the economy cuz... well, they are all corrupt, "but least they aren't communist". Branding
