Venezuela Nicolás Maduro 'plays' to be Daniel Ortega with the disqualifications of Barinas, cradle of the revolution
The American revolutions celebrated this Tuesday in Havana the seventeenth anniversary of when it all began: the founding of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA).
"Without a doubt, Fidel and Chávez set the path of cooperation, dignity and social happiness for us," stressed Nicolás Maduro when landing in Cuba just two weeks after the last trip to his favorite destination.
The XX Alba Summit thus comes days after the Democracy Summit organized by Joe Biden, to which those who today face the three dictatorships of the region were invited. And it does so when the international mechanisms sponsored by Hugo Chávez are adrift and with them a good part of his geopolitical strategy. Under the banner of American integration,
revolutions have sought the parapet of international organizations to deepen authoritarianism.
"We have to take a step further, to a joint action program, and that is the call I make. We have to go much further," cried the "son of Chávez", who once again unfolded an old dream of his bosses Revolutionaries: European or Asian-style economic integration.
"The center of the new era and the success of our projects, of our revolutionary dreams, is that we really hit the road of shared economic development,"
summarized the Bolivarian boss.
The basis of integration would be the Bank of ALBA, its Monetary Council and the digital sucre as a common currency, a project that never advanced beyond the reports and wishes.
"The sucre should be updated and given a virtual character," Maduro added, in clear reference to the experiments carried out under his administration with the very short-lived petro cryptocurrency.
The trade agreements, Maduro outlined, would seek to build a
joint food production scheme, as
well as new investments in the oil, gas or lithium industries.
"ALBA is our home, here we are brothers, we are the same," pontificated Maduro, who has emerged as the great banner of the three regimes.
Cubans, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans shared entertainment and support, all "victims"
of the attacks by the Northern Empire.
"At ALBA we are building a new path for the world to have peace," said Daniel Ortega.
In addition to the three dictatorships and their ally, the Bolivian indigenous revolution, with President Luis Arce at the head of his delegation, six small Caribbean islands are part of the alliance created by Fidel and Chávez.
These are Dominica, Antigua and Barbados, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Grenada and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
All of them also participate in PetroCaribe, the network with which Hugo Chávez distributed Venezuelan oil very cheaply in search of allies and political majorities in the Pan-American organizations.
The Chavista collapse and the
drop in black gold production
have also affected PetroCaribe, although Maduro does not lose hope of its rebirth.
"Fidel and Chávez advanced more than anyone else on the road to integration. Their humble followers, their loyal disciples, we have the duty and honor to strengthen that magnificent work,"
summarized the host, Miguel Díaz-Canel, despite the economic disaster and financial of the three revolutions.
The summit was dispatched between speeches and memories on a date, December 13, which is not by chance.
In 1994, as soon as he was released from prison after serving a very short sentence for the coup against Carlos Andrés Pérez, the "supreme commander" traveled to Cuba.
"I look out and see the Horse (as they called Fidel on the island) standing there. ALBA was born (10 years later) from that first hug. From that day on, my humble life was sealed forever next to the giant that is Fidel. "Chávez later recounted.
