Taken from the portal “El Español”: “Trump, Putin y Guaidó lo tenían
todo acordado con Maduro para el exilio, pero Cabello se negó a caer” (see
note in Spanish in https://www.elespanol.com/mundo/20190501/trump-putin-guaido-acordado-maduro-exilio-cabello/395211059_0.html).
And I wonder if you were
Diosdado and your associates are doing business behind your back where the only
one who pays for the feast, the looting and the destruction of the country that
they have done together is you, and the others retire to a golden exile, what
would you do? The answer seems obvious from anyone who is in that position, and
even more so in that of this particular protagonist: everyone dies here with
me.
But in what
head would it be that such a business could function without violence, hoping
that the one who would pay the bill would just let himself be fucked (and
forgive my bad English) just like that without doing anything else? Was a
peaceful transition expected in those conditions? What kind of business were
they doing in the official opposition? As we get to know the details of the
events that took place before the dawn of April 30, we can weigh with due
dimension how they are negotiating our future, and if that has any
sustainability.
The
statement by John Bolton, Trump's advisor, after revealing the names of those
who were negotiating with the official opposition is very disturbing, according
to the Spanish portal: "So, if you
are Nicolás Maduro, could you keep looking your defense minister in the face
and trust him? I don't think so. I think Maduro is now inside a bottle full of
scorpions and it's all a matter of time”.
But it is
not really the Minister of Defense that Maduro should distrust, if at the end
of the day, as Bolton himself says, he was involved in this "retirement"
plan, but Diosdado Cabello. From now on, anything can happen to Maduro, not
from the official opposition or the United States, but from those whom the
usurper intended to betray. Do not lose sight of the fact that here we are
already moving away from the realm of politics to that of criminal activity, as
we have always warned. The capos don't beat about the bush when they discover a
betrayal of that size.
That's why
Bolton calls it "a bottle full of scorpions." What Bolton doesn't
know, because he doesn't live in Venezuela, is that in that bottle there is not
only Maduro, we are all Venezuelans. And why do I say that? Because we
Venezuelans are extremely dependent on what happens to the government. That's
why we've been getting the stick for 20 years. A communist government, and from
a certain moment on, an extremely toxic guerrilla, narco-trafficker and
terrorist, has led to the economic ruin of each and every one of us who live in
this country. That is why everyone who can get out of this hell that Venezuela
has turned into escapes.
How does it
affect us that Maduro did not leave on April 30 because of the "small
flaw" in that negotiation with delinquents, of having left without
response precisely who turns out to be perhaps the biggest obstacle because the
Venezuelan problem cannot be resolved peacefully?
First,
those who are behind the wheel of the interim government of Juan Guaidó,
starting with the President in Charge himself, should be clear that terrorists
and criminals are not negotiable. That defines a whole course of political
action vis-à-vis the people and defines a completely different course of action
than the one that led to this failed negotiation. The Americans are there to
support and help the driver, not to drive for him. If there are flaws in that
wrongdoing they could be blamed on another. I make this claim because it must
be remembered that any mistake there costs and influences many Venezuelan
lives.
I have
always indicated that we are not dealing with politicians but with criminals.
If the interim government group headed by Juan Guaidó had that clear, today it
wouldn't be calling us to a general strike after the greatest support any
politician has ever had in Venezuela. We are already unemployed! The country is
paralyzed! Doesn't Guaidó know the statistics of the continued closure of
companies and the ruin of the country? Venezuelans need more work than ever in
this hyperinflationary chaos.
How can it
be the answer to the failure of the "breakup of the Armed Forces" of
the 23F and now of the 30A, that those who can still work stop doing so? The
regime would be dead laughing about it! That's precisely what they want because
by further weakening the private sector people would become dependent only on
the crumbs in food that the regime sells. I suggest - or rather I demand as a
Venezuelan - Guaidó's team more creativity in what is to come now.
Because
these announcements are precisely the result of the lack of a clear policy in
relation to the Cessation of Usurpation. As of May 1st, and even more so after
this new failed attempt to "break up the Armed Forces", the country
is waiting for an accurate opposition leadership. I agree to continue the
protest in the street but it must be more specialized and directed. That the
unions raise their level of sectoral demand even more in the face of the
multiple failures of this misgovernment. That students and teachers demand and
protest against the disarray of an education that has come to the floor with
50% of the children who do not go to school. Staying on the street is the
easiest thing to do because there is so much to protest about.
But what
cannot be tolerated is the search for a solution that includes those who were
primarily responsible for this tragedy. That is unacceptable. There is a managerial
maxim that indicates that a problem cannot be solved with those who were the
main culprits. You simply do not solve it. And if the perpetrators do not want
to leave because they have kidnapped power, committed crimes against humanity
and ignored the rules of democracy, those who exercise the legitimate
representation of the people must force them out seeking the necessary
international help, because that is the type of decisions that go with the post
and the responsibility that they assumed with us, for those same rules of
democracy. This is not new in the world and there is enough justification in
the treaties and agreements that the Nation has signed to request it, such as
the Principle of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) of the UN. If they could find
a way to negotiate with Maduro and his thieves, they could well find a way to
convince the world of that humanitarian intervention.
But there
are interested forces within the official opposition that don't want to do
that. Well, they'd better solve it because Venezuela will soon become a real
bottle full of scorpions with all of us inside, where the least of our worries
will be Nicolás Maduro Moros.
