After an earthquake, which is always prudently
recommended, it is to wait quietly for a short time for the aftershocks of the
earthquake to appear so as not to be in a worse situation, because it is
assumed that the earthquake has already caused, unexpectedly, significant
damage.
What happened in Venezuela with the fraud of
the 15-O regime was a political earthquake with consequences that we cannot yet
weigh in its magnitude or dispatch as a simple robbery in the governors'
elections. Then the reply, represented by the swearing-in of the
governors-elect of Acción Democrática, the remaining structures that we thought
would be sustained despite the strong initial earthquake, fell.
The first building to fall was the MUD
building. Many Venezuelans believed in good faith that even if the fraud
earthquake took away the alleged opposition "triumph" offered by the
MUD of "more than 20 governorships," even so the few remaining
opposition governors-elect who stood up "would not be sworn before a
fraudulent constituent," as the MUD shouted in its communications.
Vain illusion. The Secretary-General's iron
grip on his party prevailed over the will of the electors of the
governors-elect. I expected such conduct, not because I had a crystal ball but
because it is part of a consistent behaviour of the official opposition to the
regime (see my note Who will be the winner on 15-O? http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/p/normal-0-21-false-false-false-es-x-none_8.html).
But I wished I had been wrong. Acción Democrática, acted in the eyes of the
Venezuelans, back to their glorious historical past. If this was not the case,
then the party's base must correct what needs to be corrected so that Venezuela
does not lose what has been an important bastion of Venezuelan democracy.
I indicated in that note that they would, and
they did. They went to prostrate shamefully in front of Delcy Rodriguez in the
fraudulent constituent. And make no mistake about the PJ case in Zulia. If the
situation had been reversed, that is, if those four governorates had been PJ,
Julio Borges would have made the same decision as Henry Ramos Allup. So these
alleged blows of honorable breastplate of that party are nothing more than the
taking of advantages of political positions against their main contender in the
Presidential elections that they hope to have with the regime, before a
decision that both parties had already taken a great deal before the elections.
Tell Guanipa to sell that speech to the assholes. Many have already left with
an early start by throwing the governor-elect of Zulia as a presidential
candidate. Please, until when they're going to take advantage of the innocent
illusions of change of the Venezuelans!
Now Henry Ramos Allup comes out of that
earthquake as one of its main victims. And I wonder if they expected an orange
to sprout from a mango bush? I'm going to dare here to say that Henry Ramos
Allup can't be the Chinese guy from Recadi. That is, the only one guilty of a
tragedy that has much more depth and responsibility than we see at first sight.
If there is any "culprit", if we can call it that, it is a way of
doing and conceiving politics, which violates all moral, all ethical, all
logic, even all rationality in order to continue driving the destinies of the
country and administer an udder that seems to be inexhaustible in the midst of
the greatest material misery -and even worse, moral- that the Nation has lived
after the War of Independence.
We will be able to turn all our frustration
over to one person for what happened on October 23rd, seeing the genuflexion
gestures of those elected adecos governors in front of the cameras and in front
of everyone. Already they will have to answer to history for that. But what has
not yet been resolved is why the political leaders did what they did, which is
nothing more than a party system incapable of renewing its leadership and
putting the country and its citizens ahead of its own appetites for power and
influence. That is at the heart of this problem.
As long as a corrupt regime, this or any
other, manage the box and distribute charges at will, because it has control of
income and the distribution of positions of power by controlling the electoral
machinery, in this ethical and moral state, there will always be someone who
plays the role that Henry Ramos Allup did, which for his misfortune
corresponded to him in this opportunity. If it had touched to Borges would be
Ramos Allup who would be ripping the clothes like Guanipa.
This does not indicate that Ramos has no part
of that responsibility, as did the famous Chinese of Recadi. What I'm saying is
that we have to see each other in this show. The leaders of these political
parties could not have gone so far in a surrender of the country without
massive popular support for their actions; and Ramos Allup did not act on his
own account in this monumental betrayal of the people of Venezuela beyond what
has been the system of complicities that still exists in Venezuela.
Will we continue to tolerate that the
competence to solve this very serious problem is based on charisms, who insults
the regime best, makes better speeches in the National Assembly, or whether it
is a boy "kicking forward" who fights in the marches with the police?
It is high time to DEMAND PROPOSALS,
to analyze and debate them and to look very carefully at who makes them and why
they are made. It is time to demand from the leaders a route, not candidates or
saviors of the fatherland. Changing the drivers will not fix this bus where we
all travel. This has long since ceased to be an electoral debate for all
Venezuelans and has become a thorny and hard road on which life can go, as we
have painfully noted.
And that's why, in the phase that is now
opening up in a post-MUD Venezuela, it is not acceptable to put gringolas on
people's minds by allowing the widows and heirs of Henry Ramos Allup to take us
back to the electoral slaughterhouse as cattle. As I would like a Venezuela
that has learned that lesson and is much more demanding.
As I closed it in my note just before the 15-O
megafraud,”Abstention in times of collaborationism” (see at http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_13.html): If they sell us, both those who voted and those who did not, we will
know what to expect... Well, they sold us. Let us now begin to act accordingly,
taking the first step towards building an anti-seismic opposition. We owe it to
the new generations ...
