"The leader should be a plan. Our leader is a map. What we need,
all of us, those who are inside, those who are outside, the displaced, the
exiles, the persecuted, all of us, is a leaf that puts us all on the same
line..." (see interview in Spanish with JJ
Rendón, Venezuelan political strategist and electoral advisor, with journalist
Idania Chirinos in NTN24, at https://youtu.be/h35yMoayWe0). And maybe JJ is right. In a state of opposition
chaos where there is nowhere to be seen who is holding the opposition reins and
everyone competing for reason, there will hardly be a solution to the serious
problem facing Venezuelans.
But JJ Rendón did not mean that any
specific person or group had the leadership to face this complex situation we
live in, led by criminals who do have a premeditated destruction plan that has
been very effective in keeping them in power. JJ was referring to looking at
this macro problem that we have, we have to think of a global plan that
includes all of us to combat the regime on its own ground in a situation of
opposition atomization where we all believe we are right.
But there is no unity of criteria.
While some of us believe that in Venezuela there is a hostage situation, others
believe that what we have here is a bad government that comes out through
elections. And until we have a common position and we all agree that this is
what we are facing, there will hardly be a solution.
Without pretending to disagree with
this approach, because this is the correct treatment that a strategist of the
international stature of JJ Rendón gives to the problem we have, I could say
that this solution resembles that of the story where some expert mice proposed
the ideal solution to solve the problem of being able to reach the food warning
the presence of the cat. The solution given by the specialists was to place a
rattle around the neck of the animal in order to know when it would approach.
That was undoubtedly the solution to the problem. But immediately the question
arose that we all know: And who puts the rattle on the cat? That is the ideal
theoretical solution but then reality came and dismantled it.
Who puts all the Venezuelan
opposition political leadership in agreement to agree and follow the same plan
to get out of the regime? Solving that would be more difficult than the same
solution to expel Maduro and his thieves from power in Venezuela. Even with a
plan - which I certainly believe JJ Rendón already has - it would be more
feasible to find another solution than to get the political leadership to
accept a common plan, however extraordinary it may be. The differences are too
great, not to mention the existence of an open opposition collaborationism paid
for by the regime.
However, the same situation has
gradually convinced Venezuelans that the country has become a great prison
where we are all locked up with the prans that run the prison, where no other
rules are valid than those that they impose by force. That is why a large part
of the population has decided to escape through the borders before things get
worse, if they are not bad enough.
Given this situation, I believe that
Venezuelans have agreed on the characterization of the problem - not so the
political leaders - and that the plan of which JJ Rendón speaks should be
endorsed by the sovereign people who know - without anyone telling them - with
whom they are dealing. This reduces the problem, not to convince the political
leadership to follow a common plan, but to convince the people themselves of
the route to follow. But can a population held hostage by crooks decide their
fate? Clearly not. Can an opposition leader in Venezuela decide something when
they are the object of threats and pressures from those same prans who have
kidnapped us inside the country? Apart from the collaboration of many of them,
those who oppose openly are subjected, imprisoned and tortured. Needless to
say, there are recent examples of such behaviour.
So when we see the soft declarations
of the local political leadership in favor of continuing with an electoral
charade with the regime, we cannot know if it is because they are threatened,
or because they are getting paid, or because they simply want to go under the
table, allowing this crisis to deepen, turning Venezuela into something worse
than Cuba. And as the days go by, the regime's representatives, who are already
fully identified by the International Community as delinquents, entrench
themselves in the country because they cannot escape from it, and fleeing
forward they present a new project for a socialist Constitution that puts them
to govern until they feel like it, and which must be opposed only by
definition, which already cuts off the rights of citizens as a booklet.
Should the world consider that
Venezuelans living in Venezuela - including opposition political leaders - are
in a position to decide a solution to this problem? Are opposition parties
given to negotiate with the regime spurious elections in December as hostages?
It is as if they were asking the hostages held in the middle of a bank robbery
that occurs to them to free themselves from the criminals. Nothing! They are hostages that must be freed!
Then the Legislative Power in
Venezuela, hostage of the pranate of Nicolás Maduro Moros, cannot decide in
relation to filling the power vacuum in Venezuela after a condemning sentence
of the same Nicolás Maduro Moros. It would be completely absurd. Any proposal,
discussion or agreement made by the National Assembly from that sentence will
be biased by the threat and intimidation that the regime exerts on the deputies
who do not want to follow the fate of Deputy Juan Requesens. With this example,
the regime clearly demonstrated what can happen to those who do not let
themselves be bought from power.
Waiting then for the National
Assembly to designate a next Transitional or Emergency Government, as we call
it from here, to fill the power vacuum after the final sentence against Maduro,
is at best a contradictory matter. And in the worst case it would be an
"autosuicide" since the regime could also dispose of that decision under
threat or collaborationism of the opposition deputies under its control.
It is then up to the only Legitimate
Power outside the influence of the regime, the Supreme Court of Justice
legitimized in exile, to decide what is necessary to fill the power vacuum in
Venezuela. This not only involves deciding on a National Emergency Government,
but also the scope of its decisions to recover the freedom of the hostages that
we are in Venezuela. That, in the terms exposed by JJ Rendón, would be
precisely the plan that the government would
execute to recover the country.
But that plan will necessarily
have to contemplate the participation of the people of Venezuela in the
fundamental decisions, in accordance with the provisions of the High Court
itself in its Order of Execution of Judgment dated November 30, 2017: "Third: ... In Reason that
the country is mired in a deep social and economic crisis that has affected the
normal life of citizens, it is appropriate the activation of civil and peaceful
resistance decreed by this High Court under the provisions of Articles 333 and
350 of the Constitution, which urgent
to produce the changes required by Venezuela for the restoration of the
authority of the Constitution and therefore of democracy in Venezuela,
therefore, any exit from the crisis
it seeks in the political arena, must be made within mechanisms popular
participation enshrined in Article 70 of the Constitution, and never behind the
back of the people, with the primary purpose of causing immediate exit e
everything that has generated the crisis through which the country is going. " (see in Spanish Auto de Ejecución de Sentencia TSJ legítimo, at http://ancoficial.blogspot.com/2017/12/auto-de-ejecucion-de-sentencia-tsj.html) (Highlighted by us).
After
regaining our freedom and after the people of Venezuela exercise their
participation through the mechanisms established by the constitution itself,
there will be no doubt about anyone and we will all agree on this great plan of
the sovereign people, making this idea of leadership of a plan to get out of
tyranny a reality.
