After the Government-in-Charge confirmed a negotiation with the regime in Mexico or Norway (see in Spanish Noticiero Digital, Negociación con Maduro podría darse en México o Noruega, in https://www.noticierodigital.com/2021/06/negociacion-con-maduro-podria-darse-en-mexico-o-noruega-confirmo-guaido/) I have some questions that I want to share with you. The only way for someone to negotiate your house to sell it for you is if they have in their pocket a power of attorney or authorization from you to do so. Otherwise the person who does this without your authorization would be cheating not only you but the rest of the world because he would be making everyone believe that you agreed to the sale of your house, not to mention that he would be keeping your money. If this seems as simple as it is scandalous, it is easily understood in the case of your house, and we apply it to the future of your country in the case of those who negotiate the Venezuelan crisis in international scenarios, people see it as a matter of course without being scandalized.
The regime's negotiators have long since lost legitimacy and do not represent the interests of Venezuelans. The regime of Nicolás Maduro Moros, in spite of being illegitimate by origin due to the way in which his first Presidency was given by being a candidate after the death of the Galactico, since the Constitution openly prevented him from doing so, by being exercising as Vice President at the moment God did us the favor of taking his boss away: "Article 229. No one may be elected President of the Republic who is holding the office of Executive Vice President, Minister, Minister, Governor, or Mayor, on the day of his or her nomination or at any time between this date and the date of the election." If Maduro was already illegitimate from that very moment in 2013, he was no less illegitimate in 2018 by forcing an early presidential election through a Constituent illegitimately called by that same illegitimate character the previous year. If we add to that the fact that Venezuelans did not participate in those elections held in May 2018 and the International Community did not recognize that election, we can conclude that this "negotiator" is disqualified to speak for Venezuelans.
On the other hand, we have the Government in Charge of Juan Guaidó. A legal black hole has opened after Venezuelans decided to reject in a Popular Consultation the parliamentary election of the regime held on December 6, 2020 and the end of the constitutional term of the National Assembly elected in December 2015. From that moment on, the issue of Guaidó's legitimacy is based on the international recognition he has had since his swearing-in on January 23, 2019. This political legitimacy granted to him by the international community to at least have a valid counterpart against the Maduro regime, cannot be sustained inside Venezuela to indicate that Guaidó is a legitimate representative of Venezuelans. I go back to my example of the house. If the neighbors say that I am the owner of the house where I live, that statement cannot be used as a basis for me to sell it to someone else. I must prove that I am the owner with documents in hand at the Property Registry.
We think it is excellent that the United States and other countries consider Guaidó as President OUTSIDE VENEZUELA, but internally things are different. That condition IS NOT SUFFICIENT for him to pretend to negotiate a house that belongs to Venezuelans. He must demonstrate ownership and we have not granted it to him with a validly called election. However, it seems that this condition of President outside Venezuela is not being sustained either, according to the Director of the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), Geoff Ramsey, who on June 1st declared in his Twitter account that "Of the almost 60 countries which at one stage accepted Mr Guaidó as president, all but seven have quietly dropped the designation from their official communiqués this year." (see @GRamsey_LatAm, https://twitter.com/GRamsey_LatAm/status/1399696005801652224). Precisely those seven mentioned by Ramsey are the only ones who have accepted Guaidó's ambassadors. At least the world is coming clean.
All the above without taking into account the unconstitutionality incurred by the Deputies of the National Assembly by modifying the 2019 Transition Statute and extending the attributions of the Delegate Commission without having the constitutional attributions for that, and which was left in charge of the 2015 National Assembly after the expiration of its last term. Add to this picture of illegitimacy the number of deputies who decided not to continue in their seats after January 5, 2021, how many of them went into exile and how many remain in the country. Whatever this net figure may be, do you think that this number will give the current National Assembly of 2015 enough political floor to negotiate with anyone for the future of Venezuelans? Good question...
And some will say to me, and then? Those are the oxen to plow with. And I answer: Thank you, but NO THANKS. In the first place because we cannot do it. The Venezuelans, the owners of the house, said in a Popular Consultation that Maduro has to leave in order to have a free election in Venezuela. That free elections are made in freedom and that is why it was authorized for any Venezuelan to manage before the International Community "...to activate the cooperation, accompaniment and assistance that will allow us to rescue our democracy, address the humanitarian crisis and protect the people from crimes against humanity" (3rd question of the Popular Consultation, December 2020). Guaidó can do only that, he is limited by a popular mandate.
Faced with such a situation of illegitimacy on both sides, I commented in a previous note that it was impossible to continue sustaining this situation before Venezuelans and the world (see Crisis of representativity: Participation versus Election, in https://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/p/crisis-of-representativity.html). The only ones who can sell our house are Venezuelans. And only we, gathered together, can make that decision. If, due to the seriousness of the crisis, a negotiation between illegitimate parties is being wielded, it is all the more reason to argue that those of us who legitimately have that right can also go beyond the legalities and propose solutions that are more in line with a legitimacy of origin.
Then, why instead of proposing elections for positions that will solve absolutely nothing with a regime of thugs, why not propose an electoral process to elect true representatives of the Venezuelan people throughout the national geography, and that gathered with sufficient political power we decide the fate of the regime and of Venezuela, with the vote of the Venezuelans, using the technical-electoral assistance of the International Community? That has a name in our Constitution and those who illegitimately, from one side or the other, try to swindle the owners of the house, have deliberately ignored it. This is the only way for Venezuelans to know that those who say they want to solve the country's problems do not want to swindle us by summoning the true and legitimate owners to decide their destiny. We will continue in the struggle for the people to decide....
