Maria clearly doesn't understand how authoritarians work. They can never be placated or satisfied. There are no small victories to give them to keep them happy. The more you give them, the more that they demand.
Perhaps she's not interested in democracy beyond using it as a vehicle to get herself in the driver's seat.
Idk, pretty much the only two things I know about her are:

I swear I seen that moron around
