If we Venezuelans had any doubts
about the collaborationist arrangement of the official opposition and the
regime of Nicolás Maduro, just watch the denunciation made by former Ambassador
Diego Arria in a recent video (see video at https://bit.ly/2mBjhtu) according to which the pro-government deputy, Lawyer
Amador Valles Méndez, addressed the President of the National Assembly on 10
July, requesting information on the President of the legitimate Supreme Court,
because he allegedly had dual nationality, and on the same day the Secretary of
the National Assembly, Negal Morales, addressed the Spanish Consul General,
asking him to document "the identity of this citizen" and to do so
"in a peremptory and urgent manner because it is very important for the
institution of the National Assembly and for citizens in general". It
would be impossible to have any more brazen collaboration.
What is the interest of the Board of
Directors of the National Assembly in requesting information from another
country about a Venezuelan who was invested by the same Assembly as a judge of
the Supreme Court of Justice, and what is the interest in attacking the President
of the Supreme Court of Justice in exile now?
At this time the Assembly Board is
openly circumventing a legitimate Supreme Court ruling dated July 2, 2018 (see
Absolute Default Judgment in Spanish at https://tinyurl.com/y8z7eqgq):
"SECOND: It is imposed on
this Tribunal in compliance with the supreme mandate to ensure the integrity of
the constitution and the order established in it (Article 334 of the
Constitution) to put an end to the institutional disorder currently reigning in
the State, which, in case if extended, it could threaten the foundational
foundations of our Republic; therefore, THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE BOLIVARIAN
REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA CORRESPONDS, by extensive application in the line of succeeding
to the office of President of the Republic, in virtue of the evident absolute
lack that currently surrounds the Presidency of the Republic and the tacit
waiver that the Executive Vice President incurred in opting for another public
office improperly assigned, THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FIRST PART OF ARTICLE
233 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA, SUPRA
MENTIONED, PROCEDURE TO FILL THE CONSTITUTIONAL VACUUM OF THE PRESIDENCY OF THE
REPUBLIC, until presidential elections can be held, prior appointment of new
Rectors of the National Electoral Council, purification and updating of the
Electoral Registry and Manual Voting, among other necessary minimum conditions,
adjusted in everything, to what is ordered in the sentence of the Electoral
Chamber of this Supreme Court dated 06/13/2018, File SE-2018-001. "
Is it this decision that the
National Assembly Directive seeks to avoid? At the moment, the Assembly's Board
of Directors and the regime of Nicolás Maduro have a very uncomfortable common
enemy: the legitimate TSJ in exile. It is very inconvenient for both of them
that this sentence should be carried out. The regime for obvious reasons, but
the government's opposition for reasons that are very difficult for national
public opinion to swallow: the regime threatens not to go away alone, but to
take with it all the accomplices it has always had in the official opposition,
beginning with those involved in the biggest Latin American corruption scandal
of recent times: the Odebrecht case.
From Venezuela it is impossible with
the official opposition that controls the National Assembly to choose a
government to replace the regime of Nicolás Maduro for one simple reason: they
are the same. The balance of power that the Nicolás Maduro regime has
maintained -and before that of Hugo Chávez- was always based on the fact that
the ruling opposition prevented its replacement in exchange for covert
contracts and crumbs of power in the governorships and mayors' offices, with
financing for its main leaders. That's
the main leadership of the National Assembly.
It would be impossible for the
official opposition to comply with this sentence only because they would have
to appoint, as the second part of the legitimate TSJ's Decision states, "the new Rectors of the National
Electoral Council, the purging and updating of the Electoral Registry and
Manual Voting, among other minimum necessary conditions, adjusted in
everything, as ordered by the ruling of the Electoral Chamber of this Maximum
Tribunal dated 13/06/2018, File SE-2018-001”. The regime wouldn't allow that.
This is the only reason why the National
Assembly will evade the execution of this sentence by all means within its
reach, even if it uses the record of muddying the name of the legitimate Supreme
Court judges, and if they can make common cause with the regime to not
recognize them, even better. There is too much complicity between the official
opposition and the regime, and too much to lose.
What can we Venezuelans do in the
face of this sad reality: Accept Omar Barboza and his collaborationist
directive for the indefinite permanence of Nicolás Maduro in power? The moment
of truth has come for them. Members who are not complicit in this situation
would do well to step aside and speak out as quickly as possible. If they do
not do so, they become accomplices by omission.
The only thing left for us
Venezuelans to do is to support by all means possible, the Magistrates who were
constituted as the legitimate Supreme Court of Justice in exile, so that they
may take the historic decision to appoint a National Emergency Government as
soon as possible to lead us through all this garbage of local corruption,
towards a definitive solution that will allow us to put an end to this
opprobrious regime that is ungoverning us and is killing us with hunger and
disease. The National Assembly is not only disqualified from complying with the
mandate of the legitimate Supreme Court ruling, but if it were to do so it
would not be for the benefit of the Venezuelan people, but for the benefit of a
corruption binomial with the regime. That's how serious things are because of
corruption, institutional kidnapping and collaborationism. The solution ceased to be in Venezuela.
