Certainly
one thing is elections after the Cessation of Usurpation and another very
different thing is with the regime laughing its head off. What is the electoral
route Guaidó is proposing to Venezuela? The one that comes after the
delinquents leave or another one where they participate? Be clear! Speak the
truth to the Venezuelan people! I would really like that clarification because
in that ambiguous language with which this opposition is working, which
manufactured the famous Statute of Transition in the National Assembly,
according to its Article 2, the mantra is still in force. And it also continues
to be in force for all the top echelons of power in the United States, who seem
to be the only ones who are clear that the jugular must be strangled from the
regime in order for the rats to end up jumping from the boat.
Because
suddenly you notice messages in the opposing behavior that reveal a change in
the original strategy. One Guaidó transformed into a presidential candidate in
a nationwide campaign and another, the second Vice President of the National
Assembly working at full steam to give Venezuela an electoral timetable. Even
if Congressman Stalin Gonzalez reaffirms his commitment to the three-step
mantra, as evidenced by the following message on his Twitter account, the
messages that follow require that Maduro first effectively leave Miraflores:
"We have proposed a route from the
@asambleave: Cessation of usurpation, transitional government and free
elections, our job is to continue fighting to achieve it. We are not going to
allow the usurper to continue submerging us in the crisis" (see Twitter of @stalin_gonzalez in,
https://twitter.com/stalin_gonzalez/status/1121122918036049921)
The above
message is unobjectionable. That was indeed the deal with the Venezuelans. But
you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, as Congressman Gonzalez
contradictorily pretends to tell us:
"Today we have a commitment with
Venezuela, we must improve the registration of Venezuelans abroad, for that is
important the appointment of authorities of the National Electoral Council
(CNE) and organize communities abroad to update the registry. (see Twitter of @stalin_gonzalez in,
https://twitter.com/stalin_gonzalez/status/1121119812330164225)
It is not
enough to have new authorities in the CNE and to organize the communities
abroad to update the registry of Venezuelans abroad without first having put
your hand to the registry of Venezuelans ceded in the hands of the SAIME
(Ministry of People's Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace), the
Electoral Registry in the hands of the regime's CNE and most importantly,
having taken possession of all the Venezuelan consular service in the world to
make way for that update of Venezuelans outside the country. In other words,
you can't do what Congressman Gonzalez says without first taking possession of
the country's government.
Venezuelans
are not stupid, and that is why we have the perception that the official
opposition is cooking up an election with the regime. And the following
message confirms those suspicions:
"We want an election where everyone can
participate without coercion, where everyone has the right to vote. For us it is important that this crisis
be solved through the realization of an electoral process, democratic, fair and
transparent" (see Twitter of @stalin_gonzalez in, https://twitter.com/stalin_gonzalez/status/1121119808043528195) (highlighted by us).
How is it
that the crisis will be solved "through the realization of an electoral
process"? The crisis will be solved when Maduro ceases to usurp
power and leaves Miraflores. And once out, a legitimate transitional government
will begin to solve the serious crisis that we Venezuelans are facing, and will
organize all that which Congressman Stalin Gonzalez mentions in those messages.
But the most serious thing comes after the fact, in my opinion, without
Congressman Gonzalez noticing it:
"In Venezuela, to have a free election is
not just to call it, it has to do with a change in the NEC and a specific
reform of the electoral laws. (see Twitter of @stalin_gonzalez in, https://twitter.com/stalin_gonzalez/status/1121081820605505541)
I responded
to this message from my Twitter account to Congressman Gonzalez in the
following way: No Stalin, it is not only
the "change of the CNE" or "punctual reforms of the electoral
laws". It is the complete fulfillment of the sentence of the Electoral
Chamber of the legitimate TSJ of June 13, 2018 that you in the AN have
deliberately decided to ignore (see Twitter of @laguana, in https://twitter.com/laguana/status/1121165688129949696).
And why did
I assert this? Because apparently the deputies of the National Assembly don't
understand that the Venezuelan electoral system can't stand one more election.
That it is demonstrably rotten and that it does institutional damage of
gigantic proportions to us Venezuelans to continue with that system of electing
officials to occupy positions of popular election.
How do we
make Stalin González and the rest of the deputies of the National Assembly
understand that THE AUTOMATIZED SYSTEM OF THE CNE OF THE REGIME CANNOT BE USED
TO COUNT THE VOTES OF THE VENEZUELANS? That it is not enough to change the
rectors and update the Electoral Registry; that a complete re-engineering of
the electoral system must be done BEFORE MAKING ANOTHER ELECTION IN VENEZUELA!
Just reading the June 13, 2018 Supreme Court of Legitimate Justice Electoral
Chamber Ruling (read Sentence in http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/2018/06/tribunal-supremo-de-justicia-declara.html) gives an account of the gravity of
the situation of the Venezuelan Electoral Power to the point that declared NULL
the use of the Automated Voting System for elections in Venezuela, which merits
a thorough examination and restructuring of the Venezuelan Electoral Power..
However, this
sentence continues to be ignored for reasons of a political nature that keep
the Directive of the National Assembly at odds with the Magistrates that they
themselves appointed and that were constituted abroad as legitimate TSJ in
exile, institutionally recognized by the OAS and the world; and this position
adopted does us tremendous harm to Venezuelans, because although the Deputies
have decided to ignore and not recognize this Supreme Court of Justice, what
has already been decided there is vital for the future of the Republic. And we
are not talking about the exclusively electoral matter, but includes the
conviction of Nicolás Maduro for corruption and the absolute nullity of the
National Constituent Assembly of the regime. That cannot be dispatched with one
stroke of the pen just because the Board of Directors of the National Assembly
does not tolerate the Magistrates they themselves appointed.
The timetable
mentioned in the following message from Congressman Gonzalez can only come out
after a Commission of qualified and specially chosen technicians get into
that anthro of manufacturing the regime's votes, and make a complete evaluation
of the technical, administrative, legal and procedural platform at the national
level of that institution in order to be able to guarantee Venezuelans that the
next election will be made according to international standards. AND THAT
CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER HE MATURES AND HIS DELINQUENTS LEAVE POWER.
"We have worked on a proposal for an
electoral timetable, where it talks about possible free elections in seven or
nine months. A short time, but with the guarantees so that the whole country
can participate and have reliable results (see Twitter of @stalin_gonzalez in, https://twitter.com/stalin_gonzalez/status/1121073850056355840).
How can
Congressman Stalin Gonzalez responsibly offer an "electoral schedule"
to Venezuelans a reliable election without falling with all the vices, traps
and corruptelas of the regime, without making an evaluation of the magnitude of
which I am referring? That would be the exclusive responsibility of a
Transitional Government effectively exercising power. That is why some
Venezuelans who consider themselves serious believe that what they are doing is
a mamarrachada to repeat another election with the regime. If this is not the
case, it is time for President Juan Guaidó, in the name of the official
opposition of the MUD/Frente Amplio, to clarify once and for all to Venezuelans
which electoral route they intend to follow, because what we are seeing is more
of the same.
