The Force of Change arrived on time.

The list of 277 candidates for Parliament, which has the push and backing of Henrique Capriles, was registered at the last minute before the National Electoral Council (CNE), formalizing the bankruptcy within the democratic opposition.

Enrollments tailored to the regime: they were postponed on three occasions while waiting for the new Capriles party, which

Even in the discount the calls were flying in search of substitutes and holders for the new formation.

Transcendental step that confirms the turnaround experienced in the opposition after the pardons of Nicolás Maduro and the demarcation of the former unitary presidential candidate in 2012 and 2013. Until next week the names of those who accompany Capriles in his bid to take office will not be known. command of the opposition.

On the one hand there are

and the 27 democratic parties that are committed to abstention and on the other Capriles, a group of deputies and various civil groups, including the employers' association.

The Catholic Church, the most prestigious institution in the country according to polls, also advocated confronting Maduro at the polls beyond abstention.

This measure is part of the agreements reached between Nicolás Maduro and Capriles himself, which include the freedom of 50 political prisoners and the pardon of 60 persecuted or exiled leaders and opponents, in addition to the "partial" amnesty for his party, Primero Justicia ( PJ), ruled by the Supreme Court in a "counter-sentence" issued in the last hours.

PJ decided not to expel Capriles, but threatened to do so to all those who register as candidates.

He also issued a harsh statement against Guaidó (

), despite the fact that its main leaders are part of the cabinet of the presidency in charge.

The former governor of Miranda also demands the presence of international observers and the delay of the elections until March to deal with the pandemic.

"The future of the opposition is very uncertain in the face of an authoritarian, weakened regime that seeks to get out of Guaidó and that finds itself with Capriles, whose leadership had been lost and who is trying to recover it," warns the political scientist

, former rector of the CNE.

"Both Guaidó and Capriles are making mistakes: Guaidó for not assuming the vanguard of a unitary electoral proposal against a dictatorial election but where political power is at stake and Capriles for doing so by fighting Guaidó, the most legitimate leader of the opposition and whom the people attribute some leadership to him in the polls.

, especially when done in a framework of suspicions and negotiations below the table. This will generate a new fracture in the opposition. " , concludes Salamanca.

The Force of Change is one of the five alliances that have nominated candidates for Maduro's elections.

And, without a doubt, the most surprising.

As a favorite and with all possible advantages, the Great Patriotic Pole, made up of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and several of its satellites, including the extreme left parties Tupamaros and Patria Para Todos (PPT) intervened by the Supreme Court. so that they were not presented with an alternative list.

Among his candidates, the usual ones:

, number 2 of Bolivarians, after recovering from the coronavirus;

, the first revolutionary combatant, and

, until a few days ago Vice President of Communication in the Chavista government and a key man for the "people president" for the negotiations.

Despite pressure and persecution from the government, finally the Popular Revolutionary Alternative has presented its own list around the Communist Party, supported by social movements.

With the approval of Chavismo, the Democratic Alliance arises, which includes parties and leaders who participated in the National Dialogue Table, with the leadership of former presidential candidate

, the man of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in Caracas.

The so-called "collaborationists" have joined forces with the 'fake' parties kidnapped by Chavismo, such as Acción Democrática and Copei.

And for bizarre, the United Venezuela Alliance, which brings together the famous "scorpions": the deputies expelled from their parties after demonstrating their economic ties with the millionaire

, Maduro's front man who awaits deportation to the US in a Cape Verde prison. while his lawyer

uses his good offices to prevent it.

"The dictatorships are confronted with the tools that the dictatorship gives

. I defend Guaidó's management, but I do not agree with the current policy," one of the best-known deputies of the democratic Parliament revealed to EL MUNDO, under anonymity.
