First the concept. I take it from an excellent article by journalist
Oscar Mario Beteta of Mexico's El Universal: "The Theory of Damage Control
points out that in the face of a tragedy, the first measures to be applied must
be focused on stabilizing the affected areas through isolation and blockade. In
a kind of intensive therapy, the effects should cease immediately. This
prevents collateral damage" (see El Universal De la Crisis al Control de
Daños, in Spanish https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/entrada-de-opinion/columna/oscar-mario-beteta/nacion/2015/07/17/de-la-crisis-al-control-de-danos).
And that's what they did and
continue to do since the G4 of the old MUD when they saw stunned that the 23E
Juan Guaidó did what the Venezuelan people asked him to do. I don't know if
with agreement with his political leader Leopoldo López or not, the truth was
that Guaidó obeyed what the sovereign shouted at that date, now doubly
historic. And that is what the parties of the G4 who make up that coalition
that directs the Directive of the National Assembly do not even deign to applaud
the courage of their President to face that popular mandate that would not be
and does not continue to be easy: that it is the people who decide, not them.
I imagine that those parties would
meet after that Chapter and would decide to do Damage Control to isolate and
block any transcendent decision that Juan Guaidó could take as President in
Charge to re-cause the decisions that they had already taken jointly in
politics with that Agreement of the National Assembly for a "Henry Ramos
Allup" transition with negotiations with the government, which include
leaving the structures of the regime intact as pointed out by Henry Ramos Allup
himself in an interview in 2017: "…the
transitional regime means: laws of forgiveness and oblivion, the law of ending
point, truth commissions, reparation of victims, special processes
-mediatization of justice- which is transitional justice, and support and
acceptance of what are called authoritarian enclaves, which are the
institutions of the old regime, to point them out in some way, that one would
fit into a new regime. That is, Military High Command, Supreme Court, etc.,
etc., etc." (see in
Spanish Ramos Allup habla sobre la “transición”, en https://youtu.be/zzudMxJGnVU, min 0:52).
And I would ask the coalition that
decided to impose this transition to the January 15 Assembly Agreement, why do
we have to "stall" this transition with "authoritarian
enclaves" if the entire democratic world, including the main power on the
planet, recognized Juan Guaidó as President in Charge of the Constitution, with
full powers to evict the usurper from Miraflores and take the decisions he must
take to immediately alleviate the suffering of the Venezuelan people? Good question...
The answer is that if it does, not
only the regime would be evicted but all the opposition collaboration that
sustained it, including the parties of that Directive of the National Assembly,
except perhaps the honorable exception of the party of the President in Charge.
This is hard to say but it has to be done because if we do not recognise that
the enemy is at home we will not be able to remove it. And that is the answer
to the question that I asked myself and half of Venezuela also because
yesterday the regime had a voice in that Security Council with
"Minister" Arreaza. Why did he enter the UN building in the first
place?
If Arreaza spoke at the UN, it was
not to defend the Venezuelan people but the criminals who, like him, want to
continue destroying the Venezuelan people. And he entered with the tacit
authorization of the opposition, although it pains me to say so. Why wasn't
there someone there to speak for the Venezuelan people who took to the streets
on the 23E? Because Juan Guaidó did not name him because the parties of the
G4-MUD are the ones that have that privilege over him, in attention to that
Agreement of the National Assembly. The only one named so far with that
agreement is Gustavo Tarre Briceño in the OAS.
When did Arreaza become Minister of
something in Venezuela if not even Maduro is President? My insistence to the
President in Charge and to the rest of the Board of Directors of the National
Assembly: Break that Agreement of January 15 and let Juan Guaidó govern so that
in the name of the Republic he designates whoever he has to designate,
beginning with the Military High Command and the rest of the main Ambassadors
outside the country. That is what the United States and the rest of the
countries that like us Venezuelans are desperate to see that the criminal is
still making chains from power to fuck Venezuelans.
No one understands why Maduro is
still in Miraflores. But seeing how things are going with the National
Assembly's Board of Directors, you can understand why he is still there. And
please don't tell me it's to avoid "massacres" of the regime. That's
the same excuse Capriles gave in 2013 when he sent us salsa dancing. Let him
count the deaths that have occurred since that unfortunate date. Each day that
Maduro spends in Miraflores counts the dead. If not, let the mothers of the
dead children say so in the maternity wards of the whole country or the kidney
patients. Don't talk about massacres to the
Venezuelan people.
President
Guaidó must absolutely dislodge himself from the nefarious influence of the
G4-MUD and make decisions. What will be hard? Of course they will be! What will
be wrong? Of course it will! But if decisions are not made NOW, the Republic is
lost. Unfortunately, I see that he still talks as if he were President of the
National Assembly and IT IS NO LONGER. He is President in Charge of the
Republic. If the nations of the planet did not see an Ambassador of his in that
UN Security Council, it was not because Maduro did not allow it. And he cannot
say for history that there was "an Agreement" that he had to respect.
The ONLY AGREEMENT THAT JUAN GUAIDÓ
CAN HAVE IS WITH THE PEOPLE OF VENEZUELA THAT ACCLAMED HIM ON JANUARY 23, 2019.
We still hope that he will not disappoint you...
