Some of my readers have found it odious that I refer to the pre-candidacy of María Corina Machado (MCM), as "radical opposition", without mentioning her directly, in the notes where I refer to the subject of the opposition primaries. There is a reason for that. MCM is not the only person in Venezuela who despises the behavior of the official opposition, nor the only one with different approaches to solve Venezuela's problem.
But certainly, MCM has managed through the primary process to bring together the radical opposition that questions the behavior of those who have traditionally represented us in the opposition, and who unfortunately hold our official opposition representation inside and outside the country, through that den that has become the National Assembly of 2015, which denaturalized the struggle of Venezuelans who, without any aspiration or interest of any kind, truly wish to get out of this tragedy as soon as possible.
Javier Milei, one of the main candidates for the presidency in Argentina, baptized in his country this type of political group, with important similarities in its profile and performance to the opposition that operates in Venezuela, as the "political caste", clearly defining them as "those who are in politics and are immoral", being this the term most used by Milei in his campaign, which has clearly differentiated him from those who, being in the opposition and in the government, according to his criteria, have sunk Argentina.
Something similar could be applicable in Venezuela. The term "political caste" as used by Milei in Argentina has been so clear that it has perfectly defined those who have used politics as a way of life, forgetting the needs of their people. We could identify without much explanation who belong to that "political caste" in Venezuela.
Said in these terms, the effect produced by MCM in the country does not belong to her, but to all Venezuelans who have come to the point of despising that "political caste" responsible for everything that has happened in Venezuela with the nefarious combination of the opposition and the regime, seeing in her the same phenomenon of the savior "que se vayan todos" observed in Hugo Chávez Frías in 1998, of course preserving the distances.
This explains the foam effect of her pre-candidacy in the primaries, because it not only adds those who had traditionally supported her in her aspirations, and who did not previously reflect more than one digit in the preference polls, but all those in the electoral spectrum who do not see a way out of the regime without also leaving the "political caste", which we are the majority. Is that good or bad? If we get out of the regime with that, of course it is very good!
But this is not 1998. There is an Electoral Power kidnapped by a tyranny, and there is a block opposition against the MCM reaching Miraflores, even if it represents an option to get out of the regime.
It is that same "political caste" that does not think of Venezuela, but of its own aspirations for power, that will do whatever is necessary to prevent the MCM's pre-candidacy from becoming a candidacy against the regime. It is that same pettiness, as demonstrated by Henrique Capriles when referring to the "VIP Primaries", which will make his despicable party not to lift a finger to help set up the voting centers needed by the National Primary Commission for the primaries to take place. In fact, no party of this opposition "status quo" will help this process, neither in people nor in money.
What should be the logical behavior of a "united opposition" against the regime? That all parties renounce their candidacy pretensions and decide by acclamation in favor of MCM as the opposition candidate, and start fighting together for transparent electoral conditions for the elections in 2024.
But that will not happen. Our historical experience, despite the existence of something called the Punto Fijo Pact, when the main political leaders, statesmen conscious of the historical moment, thought first of the country and not of their parties. It will not happen because that political leadership is so committed to their interests linked to tyranny, knowing all its secrets, that they would die before the population truly perceives them in their horrible and terrible reality, preventing them from continuing to live off politics.
We Venezuelans find ourselves today in such gloomy circumstances, which say a lot about those who make politics in this country. Consequently, all those who say that "the parties will have no other alternative" but to support MCM, have not understood what has happened in Venezuela in the last 20 years, minimizing the seriousness of the Venezuelan opposition problem. MCM will be left alone in the primaries because those parties will NOT participate or collaborate in any way in a primary election where they know she would win by far, becoming the main saboteurs of that process.
In Argentina, it is very possible that Milei, as an electoral phenomenon, will manage to defeat that "political caste" in the elections of October 2023, since he has perfectly identified against whom he is fighting, but we in Venezuela have not even realized that we really have it, and consequently, how can we defeat it to get the country out of this chaos? Will the CNP end up becoming an arbitrator between MCM and the "political caste" of Venezuela, to define the contender of the regime in 2024? If you have not thought about it, it is good that you start doing so, because the future of all Venezuelans will depend on the outcome.
