• Venezuela.USA offers to withdraw sanctions if Maduro accepts a transitional government without his presence or that of Guaidó

Maximum pressure against Nicolás Maduro. The deployment of the "largest naval anti-drug operation" in the history of the Caribbean , announced Wednesday with hype and saucers by the Donald Trump Administration, has added to the commitment to a government of national unity without the "son of Chávez" and without Juan Guaidó and the reward of 15 million dollars for the "head" of the revolutionary chief. All this when the pandemic advances throughout the world and envisions Venezuela destroyed by the revolution as a scapegoat for its excesses.

The "largest anti-drug operation in the West," which will double the number of ships and helicopters in Caribbean waters, has targeted Maduro because "it benefits from drug trafficking." The US accuses the Mexican cartels and the Soles cartel (Venezuelan generals and Chavista leaders) of "taking advantage of the coronavirus crisis" to multiply their shipments to US territory. Pentagon chief Mark Esper said that the "Maduro regime relies on drug profits for income."

"The cartels need to be defeated, both for the people of Mexico and for that of Venezuela," ventured William Barr, the US attorney general , the same man who put a price on the heads of the people president and Diosdado Cabello, number two of the revolution. , and Tareck El Aissami, Vice President of Finance.

The American threat against the "president of the people" has placed him in a mixed position: defensive before the world, ready to "collaborate" even with the United States, and offensive at home. Demosthenes Quijada , one of the main advisers to the president in charge, Juan Guaidó, was arrested this Thursday by the military counterintelligence, thus joining the twenty opposition leaders captured or persecuted since the "radical quarantine" was decreed.

Insults to Guaidó

"Bolivarian fury can reach every corner," Maduro harangued in one of his television appearances, in which he described Guaidó as "pure clique" (showman) and "sprouted face" (with pimples). "Nothing else has the ASS (Unified Command of the Opposition). How does the cockroach feel? We have real leaders, who are in the forefront," concluded the "driver of victories", another of the titles that Chavista propaganda bestows Maduro.

Encouraged by the verbiage of his boss, Cabello went further in his threats: "Know that if [an invasion] occurs, we will go for you. Operation Bolivarian fury activated; whoever understood, understood."

Quijada's capture joins a long rosary of persecution and harassment against the environment of Guaidó, whose uncle, Juan José Márquez, has been in a minimal cell for almost two months. "They have already lost the respect of their people and the world. It is time to make decisions. Let's save Venezuela," cried the legitimate president of Parliament, who again called on the officials of the revolution : "By kidnapping another fighter, only They get disgrace. Instead, for the usurper they are 15 million dollars and make history. "

Russia and Cuba immediately went out to defend their ally. "This anti-drug operation is a maritime blockade of Venezuela, punishment of the Venezuelan people for their fidelity to the true values ​​of democracy," fantasized Serguei Melik, the new Russian ambassador in Caracas.

Quite the contrary, estimates the president in charge, who this Thursday did not respond to the call from the Chavista prosecutor, who accuses him of orchestrating a coup . "We will collaborate with all the necessary actions to end drug trafficking from Venezuela to other countries," Guaidó replied to his main ally.

The proposal for an emergency government to fight covid-19 continues to gain supporters in the meantime, waiting for the European Union to speak out. Yesterday the German chancellery came forward, joining in this way the socialist government of Portugal. In Latin America most countries have already given their approval, with the expected exception of Mexico and Argentina.
