Before the repeated elections are disputed in Barinas, the cradle of the revolution, the opposition battle is another:

the extension of the presidency in charge

.

The constitutional tool launched in 2019 after the usurpation of Nicolás Maduro and the revolution concludes on January 4 amid the internal fight of the opposition.

Julio Borges

, national coordinator of Primero Justicia (PJ) and former interim foreign minister whose resignation hit the Government of Juan Guaidó, raised the broad lines of his plan yesterday before the Delegate Commission of the democratic Parliament, without going into the details.

"We have to reinvent ourselves to live up to what the people and international allies demand of us.

We have to show that we are different," he

stressed.

Borges is committed to

turning Guaidó into a kind of decorative figure

after claiming the "disappearance" of the interim government, which he now intends to restructure to remove content.

In this way, Borges aligns himself with

Henrique Capriles

, a critic of the interim Presidency and in favor of giving the electoral battle, despite the circumstances, and committed to reconquering the opposition leadership. In line with several leaders of Acción Democrática (AD) and Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT), they sought that the electoral results would allow them to strengthen their fight with the presidency in charge. It was not so.

"Guaidó remains the only legitimate head

accepted by the international community, despite the fact that he has lost some support, but he is sustained by the support of the United States. And he will remain there until that support expires. The fight with Capriles / Borges is long overdue and will only be resolved with the dispute over the presidential candidacy of 2024, "political scientist

Luis Salamanca

, former rector of the National Electoral Council (CNE)

, weighed for EL MUNDO

.

"Borges tried to implode internal divisions with his statements in search of the disappearance of the presidency in charge," sources from the Delegate Commission told EL MUNDO.

The political move has not worked, at least for now.

From within the Presidency in charge, it is believed that in a few days they will announce to the country ("everything is aligned so that this happens") that they will

modify the dates of the transition statute

and the fight will continue in 2022 through the Presidency in charge, despite the mistakes made.

The latest support has come from the ghostly Supreme Court in exile.

At this time, the majority opts for its continuity, with an interim government with fewer components.

One of Borges' demands is that

the opposition parties do not have access to the funds frozen abroad

, which has already caused several scandals on the democratic front.

"The interim Presidency is in the Constitution and covers the absence of an elected president until another is elected. There are necessary transformation processes. The collaborators are gradually separating from those who truly oppose Maduro and it seems that

Guaidó is consolidating between the latter

", underlined for this newspaper the political scientist

Georg Eickhoff

.

The repeated support of Washington, regardless of the electoral route plagued with obstacles, as the judicial intervention in Barinas has made clear, has become the main support for Guaidó. "The key is the Presidency itself,

its bet is to make life difficult for the dictator.

With international support and its own strategy, it will be able to continue doing so. It is obvious that it bothers Maduro a lot and that he is looking for allies to eliminate it," concludes Eickhoff .

Time has confirmed that it is not only tactical and strategic differences that undermine the democratic opposition. On the one hand, fundamental, are the government maneuvers, which buy wills without shame and punish and threaten those who resist. "And then there are the appetites for the opposition leadership," confirms the former rector of the CNE.

"The division is very personal, the figures are more important than the parties.

Guaidó has more presence than Voluntad Popular and PJ is Capriles and Borges

. That ultimately imposes a dynamic of personalities that go to the extreme of not understanding each other and fiercely attacking each other, It seems that they are risking their lives. And meanwhile the parties are weakened by the action of the regime and their ability to channel the processes is lost, at most they are electoral cards, "declared Salamanca.

The 'rebirth' of

Manuel Rosales

in his third term as head of the oil state of Zulia (he has also been mayor of Maracaibo) has once again placed him in the front line of the opposition, hence the reception with which Maduro entertained him at the Palace of Miraflores.

Good words, different from the facts, as almost always in revolution: the leader of Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT) has already suffered the

loss of important powers in airports and tolls.

In AD the challenge is another: to recover the initials of the party, given to a "traitor" who has joined the Democratic Alliance.
