The opposition is deeply suspicious of Cuba’s influence over policy and government decisions. Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, frequently praises the Castros in public speeches. When Mr. Chávez was ailing from cancer he went to Cuba for his surgery. And in the weeks before his death last year, Havana seemed almost to have become a de facto seat of Venezuela’s government, as a stream of top officials jetted there for meetings.
