I have addressed in the past the issue of the cultural short-termism of
the Venezuelan (see some of them: The "fast track" of the Venezuelan
in 2017, in http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/2017/01/el-fast-track-del-venezolano.html, Operation
Freedom in 2014, http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/2014/03/el-operativo-libertad.html, and
further back in 2011, See you in The Hague, in http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/2011/11/nos-vemos-en-la-haya.html). We
can't stop being who we are, we want things for yesterday "because it's
late". And that unusual pressure from the Venezuelan people because the
politicians understood that Maduro's problem had to be solved immediately
brought us Juan Guaidó as a gift for the day of Venezuelan democracy, January
23.
Although that impatient trait of our culture brought us to Juan Guaidó,
it may also explain why we are not out of the regime yet, believe it or not.
And that way of being could spoil all that has been achieved so far with one
blow, by the clumsiness committed by those who have fought like stray dogs to
get their hands on power after the fall of the regime of Nicolas Maduro.
And why do I say after the regime has fallen? Because Maduro is still in
Miraflores and those clumsinesses can leave him there - don't be surprised - if
things aren't done right. It must be recognized that there are some that have
been thought but I am inclined to think that it has been like when the donkey
plays the flute, pure coincidence.
How is it possible that the official opposition did not pass through a
dream team of the Venezuelan foreign service at the most critical moments of
this transition, when the international part is the foundation of all possible
change in our tragic situation, leaving with a dark roster and no experience in
foreign affairs at a time when international knowledge and skills are most
needed?
It would have been a luxury opportunity to tell Venezuelans that what's
coming is millions of times better than what's out there. But it's not. They
opted for painful appointments, with honorable exceptions, to which no one
knows who have put at least one tweet against the regime.
Why not use dozens of people of aquilatada diplomatic experience that
exist irrigated by the whole world willing to give a service for Venezuela in
this hour where so much is needed in each country? Is it that they pretend to
handle politics as they did until people got tired and voted for a coup in
1998, where the foreign service was used to pay favors?
Indeed, there are Venezuelans with diplomatic experience, capable of
serving the country only for the satisfaction of helping in this vital moment
for Venezuela. A group of Venezuelans who have been fighting against the regime
for years have published an Open Letter on their website offering the
diplomatic experience of their President, at no cost to the Government of Juan
Guaidó, to deal with the diplomatic headquarters of Venezuela in Puerto Rico
(see AIRESVEN Group, Open Letter to the President in Charge of the Republic
Juan Guaidó Márquez, at https://grupoairesven.wordpress.com/carta-abierta-al-presidente-encargado-de-la-republica-bolivariana-de-venezuela-juan-guaido-marquez/).
Read it, I am completely sure that in each country there are Venezuelans
willing to serve Venezuela until the transitory situation of President Juan
Guaidó is stabilized, and a new stage of re-institutionalization of the
Venezuelan Foreign Service can be entered, to improve Consulates and Embassies
around the world.
In this way the transitional government would have a pool of people that
would not be offered to any other government in other conditions, with all the
experience required to address the most complex problems, which will be
precisely those that Guaidó will face in the transition. I suggest to the civil
society of the Venezuelan diaspora in all countries that if possible in their
countries do exactly the same as AIRESVEN has done, and that would be an
excellent way to measure if the disposition of these new protagonists aims to
solve the crisis or cover party bureaucracy (more of the same). That's why
civil society must be on top of what they do.
I have been a permanent defender of the comptroller role of civil
society. In fact, if progress has been made by leaps and bounds in solving
Maduro's problem, it has been due to pressure from citizens. We cannot allow
politicians to do anything other than the right thing in this difficult
situation in Venezuela. Otherwise,
we will not get out of the problem.
When I say 333, it's me as I said in a last note, obviously I'm not
talking about me. All of us are responsible for achieving the full force of the
Constitution. Both the Statute Law that governs the Transition (see full
Statute Bill document approved in https://tinyurl.com/y9nsa8jw), as the Amnesty and Constitutional Guarantees Bill for the military and
civilians (see Bill approved in, http://www.asambleanacional.gob.ve/noticias/_ley-de-amnistia-y-garantias) are
instruments of attack against the people who claim to defend and the validity
of the Constitution, and so I have reasoned in the notes I have published on
these issues (see For a true Amnesty, http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/2019/02/por-una-verdadera-amnistia.html, The trap
of the law that governs the transition, http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/2019/01/la-trampa-de-la-ley-del-estatuto-que.html; and that
if approved in the manner in which they are drafted, the departure of the
usurper from Miraflores is likely to be delayed, to the benefit of many hairy
opposition hands interested in the continuity of the regime.
That's why we can't confuse this legitimate citizen concern with
sabotaging what's beginning, because if Guaidó doesn't do it right from the
beginning, we'll all be harmed. Hence the warnings made in good faith so that
his administration is not only impeccable but also seems so. And so that what
comes after Guaidó is based on an impeccable institutionality, especially with
the electoral matter.
The political machinery is already beginning to move in the National
Assembly for the conformation of the Committee of Electoral Nominations for the
selection of the Rectors of the CNE, without having given samples to change the
electoral systems according to the Judgment of the legitimate TSJ of June 13, 2018,
that orders a manual system and the reconstruction of the Electoral Registry
(see TSJ declares NULL the use of the automated vote for elections in
Venezuela, in http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/2018/06/tribunal-supremo-de-justicia-declara.html).
That is to say, the parties of the transition ignore to our detriment, a
sentence of the legitimate TSJ because it is not in accordance with their
interests. This is unacceptable.
Venezuelans, the entire civil society, must raise their voices in unison to
demand All the signs are indicating that the official opposition parties are
moving as if they had not been responsible for the Chávez phenomenon that
changed our lives in 1998. Beware! In this opportunity we will not remain
impassive. If things are not done right now, the question in the title of this
article will be one because absolutely nothing will have been learned: the
precipice. But we will not fall into it without putting up a fight with those
who have not wanted to learn. I hope Guaidó makes a difference and accompanies
the Venezuelan people in their aspiration for a different Venezuela...

and manual voting systems that guarantee Authentic Elections for that new
government after Juan Guaidó, once the usurper
has been expelled from Miraflores. Once again they are taking us Venezuelans to
play in the trapped roulette of the CNE, but at that moment it would be at the
service of the new political leaders of the transition, changing only who
operates the roulette.
