After the shocking and widespread corruption of
the opposition in 2019, She is what ordinary people feel remains of decency for
politics in the country. Everything else went down. Her political faction in
Parliament was the only one who told the truths that people wanted to hear and
that were dismissed by They, who have always despised her, secretly celebrating
her exclusion from Parliament.
But She persisted. She took over a faction in
Parliament, representing that large part of the country whose discontent
originated when they turned their backs on the People's mandate in a People's
Consultation that They themselves had promoted, promising that they would abide
by the result. Bullshit! They had previously negotiated with the regime a regional
election in exchange for playing crazy with the result of the consultation. But
She picked up those flags, did not forget the betrayal and continued the
struggle.
She now represents hope before Us, against
those who betrayed their oath to depose tyranny, choosing for convenience to
cohabit with the regime. Now that makes her an enemy to both partners who wish
to continue their joint business for many years to come, but She stands like a
very uncomfortable stone in their shoes. What to do? How to get her off our
backs, they ask. It is said that politics was invented by the Devil to get
followers on Earth. They and the tyranny, partners in circumstance, devised a
macabre plan to neutralize it by using Us.
Tyranny had not allowed She to register her
party to run for election. But that didn't matter to her. She continued with
her plan of expansion and national growth, and now She is very excited about
the polls that show an undeniable popularity in her favor over any other
leadership. Any electoral measurement would give her party an unparalleled
advantage over any other. And that's really the trap his enemies are sure to
fall into.
Then the regime decided, together with They, to
legalize She' s party. Since next year they both decided that there would be
elections, how could they both go to compete if everyone knows they are
partners? Who would go to vote? There wouldn't even be queues! There has to be
someone who represents the hope of change for the electoral game to work!
Someone who embodies the people's struggle when everyone has sold out. And who
better than She, who represents the hope of many? But there is a problem. She
has repeatedly said that she would not run for any election if there is no
reliable referee and with tyranny ruling the country. How to solve that?
And the regime said to itself: don't worry,
people will ask her in the streets, in the Citizens' Assemblies, public opinion
will ask her all over the country. We will ask her. Even they will ask you.
Their closest political advisors will impose it on her, arguing that the
"spaces" achieved cannot be lost; that with this "arbiter"
it was won in the previous parliamentary elections, and that it would be a
unique opportunity to control Parliament in order to evict the regime. She will
be convinced that She will collect all the opposition votes that will not be
for They for traitors and partners of the tyranny. Finally, She will agree,
justifying the participation of her party in this new electoral farce, which
would be legitimized in front of her own and strangers, convinced of rescuing
the destiny of the current parliamentary faction organized around her figure.
She could not leave them alone, it would not be politically correct. Somehow
she would be forced to compete. She would already find the most appropriate way
to justify it to the country. It would only be enough for her to use the
formula of the politicians in all history: The People are asking me!
And no one could question the process because
people are going to vote. And the regime will do the same thing it has done
very well for the past 20 years: It will manipulate and cheat the results with
the referee chosen with them, but this time they will do it in a very
convincing way, pulverizing the opposition vote among many small ones who were
conveniently let into the game in exchange for support, but giving her the
largest of the minorities, and disappearing the official opposition, or leaving
her in a state so battered that the sum of all of them is not enough to hinder
their plans.
Who would object to that electoral process? Who
would dare to question an election in which She participated? No one! Not even
the regime's fiercest external enemies. And it would be us who would have put
the stamp of quality on our participation.
Result: She will have a space to shout all she
wants in a Parliament legitimated by her presence but without any power to
change absolutely anything in the balance of power. Nor could the international
community say anything about the legitimacy of a parliament controlled by a regime
that has her as the best exponent of the real opposition struggle. And We, all
of us, were screwed again by making us believe that we could change things from
Parliament, playing the electoral game with a narco-terrorist and cheating
regime.
And it will be 6 more years without being able
to get rid of this communist plague that destroyed the country. The 2020
"electoral" plus 5 of a new Parliament controlled again by the regime
as a result of the most abject manipulation of an unusable opposition, asking
us all why we were not consulted to decide a different route that would not
stop in a ravine, if there was a proposal would be signed by the most lucid
personalities of the country.
But the saddest thing is that She will have
been neutralized with the help of They, the partners of the regime, preventing
Us from advancing in evicting them from power, having used She to continue
their business "as usual", and reducing She to a space in which She
will not be able to harm anyone, neither They nor the regime, using in Her
favor the ambition of opposing power as the main catalyst. Masterly play!
And right there I woke up. What a scare! What a
horrible nightmare! I realize that today is December 28th, Holy Innocents Day.
My sincere apologies! It was nothing more than a nightmare suffered by this
innocent writer, any resemblance of this bad dream to people or situations of
the terrible Venezuelan reality being imaginary, although some say that
sometimes reality surpasses fiction... Happy
Holy Innocents Day!
