• Elections in Venezuela.José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero travels to Caracas to support the electoral fraud of Nicolás Maduro

  • Elections. The EU does not recognize the outcome of the Venezuelan elections and calls for "free and credible" legislative and presidential elections

Nicolás Maduro wanted to leave a photo for history at the feet of Simón Bolívar.

A "pleasant meeting" with "international observers" who witnessed "the greatness of the people and the strength of Venezuelan democracy", despite the carousel of traps, blackmail and state advantage exhibited once again in Venezuela.

To his right, the star supporter from Spain on the same day as the electoral fraud: José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his main ally in Europe.

To his left, Evo Morales, the former Bolivian president who lost power after another electoral fraud.

At his side, Rafael Correa, the former president, a fugitive from the Ecuadorian justice system, who sentenced him to eight years in prison for corruption.

And at both extremes, Bishop Fernando Lugo, an ousted former Paraguayan president, and Manuel Zelaya, a former Honduran president who lost power in a military coup and later became a paid manager of Caracas.

Zelaya was detained days ago at the Tegucigalpa airport when $ 18,000 was found without declaring.

He alleged that he did not know that he carried that amount among his belongings.

"To counteract the absence of impartial foreign observers, a group of former Ibero-American presidents decided to" accompany "the electoral process in order to make it more presentable," says Carlos Malamud, principal investigator at the Elcano Royal Institute.

The former President of the Spanish Government, at the head of the revolutionary platoon and become one of the brotherhood of the populist and revolutionary left, sent a message to the Spanish Government, which found an answer in the words of the Minister of Foreign Affairs:

"You have to listen Attentively to Zapatero "

when he says that two years after the last elections the political issue" has become entrenched and the humanitarian crisis has worsened.

In this way, Arancha González Laya introduces into his speech part of the mantra that Zapatero repeats ad nauseam

, although he warns that his messages "neither interfere nor bother the European Union," as he declared to Cadena Ser. "I respect his word, but he speaks in an individual and personal capacity, "the minister clarified, who demanded from the government and opposition" a minimum space of understanding "to provide the population with humanitarian aid, health care and vaccines.

González Laya maintains, however, that

"the minimum democratic guarantees have not been respected"

in Sunday's elections, but that in the face of the new scenario that is opening, it is necessary to decide "what treatment we are going to give to the current Assembly", the same position held by Brussels.

There is the squaring of the circle: Juan Guaidó, recognized by Western democracies and most of the American continent, is committed to administrative continuity to continue the fight against the revolutionary regime despite the fact that initially the legislative period ends with the inauguration of January 5 .

That day the Chavista deputies will return to the Federal Legislative Palace, which was already taken over a year ago by the military and handed over to the deputies expelled from the Democratic Unity for their economic ties with Alex Saab, the Colombian millionaire figurehead for Maduro.

A new crossroads for the opposition and a very uncertain destiny for Guaidó in the face of what is already expected to be a new Chavista onslaught.

Zapatero's role in Latin America

This is precisely one of the main assets displayed by Zapatero in his frenzied

lobby

deployed both in Spain and in Latin America, where he serves as a kind of chancellor in the shadow of Podemos.

The former socialist leader assures that Guaidó is going to fall and that, like it or not, Maduro must be given the go-ahead.

The revolutionary leader himself defended the role of Rodríguez Zapatero at a press conference today: "He is a very informed leader of the world, of Europe, former president Zapatero is perhaps the most informed European leader, the most knowledgeable about the reality of Venezuela, and

he has played an important role in the peace of the country and will continue to play an important role as an interlocutor

. "

"Zapatero, protected in his capacity as former Spanish president, has not been afraid for a long time to show that his priority is to take advantage of his links with the Latin American extreme left to seek other benefits. His active participation in the Puebla Group they remove any hint of impartiality that they intend to demonstrate, "the internationalist Mariano de Alba lashes out.

A presence, that of Zapatero, which has caused controversy in Spain, because it represents the end of the drift of the former leader of the Spanish PSOE.

The Spanish leader is also the main defender of the Maduristas theses within the Puebla Group.

In fact, Zapatero supported the main coalition formed by false opponents in the last elections, among whom is the

fake

version

of Acción Democrática, one of the main historical allies of the PSOE in Latin America.

The Chavista Supreme Court seized control of the party from the Social Democratic board of directors to hand it over to pro-revolutionary leaders.

Behind the backs of most of the countries of the continent and of the European democracies, Maduro, his revolutionary friends and his international supporters (Russia, Iran and Turkey, present in Caracas; Cuba and China from a distance)

claimed the "great democratic day "

.

Even Correa insisted that Venezuela is still the best electoral system on the planet.

Maduro expressly thanked President Vladimir Putin, because "Russia is an example of respect and cooperation, showing that it is possible to be a power without being an empire."

In fact, the Russian allies had demanded that Caracas "fix" the situation in Parliament to advance its oil agreements.

"

I see an ideological alliance behind the photo of Maduro and his allies

. And, in some cases also economic, with the sole objective of seeking to hold or preserve power in the greatest number of countries. Venezuelan and Bolivian resources will now be used illegally for try to encourage the other projects to return to power ", De Alba sums up.
