"A
confession of part, relief of evidence" is a phrase known among
lawyers when it is no longer necessary to promote any additional
evidence because the accused confessed. And that is exactly what the
official opposition in the National Assembly did yesterday when it
confessed the negotiation for elections with Maduro's regime, openly
declaring itself in permanent session for the appointment of the
rectors of the CNE, a decision that goes in a completely opposite
direction to the route agreed with the Venezuelans on January 23, to
first cease the usurpation of the regime, thus formalizing the
betrayal that we have repeatedly denounced (see
in Spanish
Asamblea Nacional se declara en sesión permanente para buscar
acuerdo por CNE, en
https://www.panorama.com.ve/politicayeconomia/Asamblea-Nacional-se-declara-en-sesion-permanente-para-buscar-acuerdo-por-CNE-20191029-0054.html).
As
you can see, they did not declare themselves in a permanent session
for the "Cessation of Usurpation" but to take Venezuelans
to an election WITH THE REGIME OF NICOLÁS MADURO IN FUNCTION. To a
confession of
part, relief of
evidence. As of today, Venezuelans have bitterly confirmed that the
Government in Charge of Juan Guaidó, far from being the solution,
has turned out to be part of the problem. They have just told us that
they believe that the criminals will give them any position of power
by negotiating the vote of the Venezuelans. Until when? How can we
believe that this is innocent? What I have seen and heard in 20 years
allows me to infer that in Venezuela there is no one innocent in
politics and even less so with the size of the corruption that has
been presented here.
The
thesis of journalist Nitu Pérez Osuna in Patricia Poleo's program,
in the sense that this criminal delay of not addressing the
"cessation of usurpation" with the urgency that Venezuelans
needed -and still need- has given the regime enough oxygen to subvert
the governments of the region and exponentially aggravate the
problem, precisely to stay, following the Sao Paulo and now Puebla
Forum, and the agreements signed in Caracas (see
in Spanish
Agárrate, Guaidó no lo logró, en https://youtu.be/6pq5zwx3PXY).
We
could conclude then that this incapable opposition has, besides
having made us lose a year to expel the regime, the "guilty"
responsibility of the disaster financed by Maduro in Chile, Ecuador,
Peru, Argentina, Bolivia and of course Colombia. This is a monumental
crisis that requires monumental remedies.
In
circles, meetings, opinion programs, public forums, where we have
presented the solution of calling for Popular Sovereignty through the
mechanism of Popular Consultation administered by Civil Society and
the Venezuelan people themselves, established in the Constitution, we
have done so with the conviction that this is the way to resolve the
"Cessation of Usurpation": to call on Venezuelans to decide
their future, without intercepting their Sovereignty.
We
have done so in the belief that once the regime and its criminals are
out, we will succeed in handing over power in a Transitional
Government to the one the people appointed on January 23, as their
legitimate Constitutional President in Charge and his work team. But
now, how can I promote that it be the people who give power to those
who defrauded that confidence yesterday in the National Assembly,
having modified in our face for unavowable reasons the route promised
to that people that has spent a year waiting for a "cessation of
usurpation" that does not arrive because it is being negotiated
with criminals? Where do we leave the dead, diseases, suffering,
hyperinflation, the inhuman exodus and the hunger of a whole year of
inaction? THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
After
yesterday Juan Guaidó and the parties that accompany him are not up
to the political height of representing in any Transitional
Government, this noble people who gave them their trust and support
on January 23, 2019 to stop this massacre that Maduro is leading in
Venezuela, and yesterday confessed that he prefers to negotiate with
him the votes of Venezuelans, abstaining from taking the
transcendental decisions that have been requested to expel criminals
from Venezuela. How do we entrust a Transitional Government to those
people without waiting for them to negotiate the Republic and
guarantee continuity in power after that Transition?
Without
changing the route that we have proposed to call the sovereign people
to a Popular Plebiscite Consultation for the "Cessation of
Usurpation", and that we have already explained -and will
continue to explain- because the promised trilogy continues in its
essence, a modification will now be necessary for the people to
pronounce on how this Transitional Government should be integrated,
once the regime is expelled by the mandate of the Sovereign of the
people, before calling for Free Elections.
As
of yesterday, the design of the Popular Plebiscite Consultation
should be such that it leads the people to decide who should lead the
Republic in a Transitional Government and the conditions under which
they will do so, to ensure that there will be no deviations, traps or
betrayals of those who are designated by the will of the people to
hold power in Venezuela during that period. But that cannot be done
with people who sell the aspirations of a people for political
reasons or corruption as has just been demonstrated, but with people
of unquestionable recognition who lend a citizen's contest to the
welfare of Venezuelans. If the Government in Charge of Juan Guaidó
had that prerogative after the 23E, since yesterday it ceased to have
it because of its performance. Now that Popular Plebiscite
Consultation should result in a solution that does not show any
political partiality in its development, and as a result a
Transitional
Citizenship Government,
in order to re-establish the validity of the Constitution, leading
Venezuelans to Free Elections without any advantage. Only in this way
will it have the credibility of all.
