Venezuela Juan Guaidó, a leader always in the eye of the hurricane
"Today the Constitution wins, today Nicolás Maduro loses."
The last-minute agreement reached by the democratic opposition, celebrated by the president in charge, Juan Guaidó, has brought some relief to the anti-Chavista ranks after several weeks of a dramatic pulse in their midst.
A relief that will only be momentary, because
the struggle for leadership and strategic differences are unresolved issues.
The extraordinary session in the democratic Parliament ended after midnight, almost twelve hours late and after weeks of tug of war, so that it was very clear that the final cordial entente was almost a miracle.
An agreement that seemed impossible and that finally arrived reluctantly.
By the almost unanimity of more than 105 deputies and the two abstentions of the two radicals of Vente Venezuela, the party of the right-wing
María Corina Machado
, the commitment to maintain the National Assembly (AN) for 12 more months was ratified, as well as the Presidency in charge, with Juan Guaidó at the head. For this
, a consensus was reached between the two opposing blocks on the reform of the Transition Statute
, which distributes powers between the interim president and the Delegate Commission (CD), a mini-Parliament of 33 deputies.
In this way,
Guaidó saves his head from the onslaught of his former foreign minister, Julio Borges
, national coordinator of Primero Justicia (PJ), and the former presidential candidate
Henrique Capriles
, who in the end have failed in their attempt to displace him and make disappear the interim Presidency, or at least turn him into a figurehead, as they sought in the last race against time.
"Common sense prevailed. Guaidó continues to be the interim president, the interim government and the legitimate AN of 2015 continue.
Gone are the conspiracies and the stab wounds
of Capriles, Borges and others. The dictatorship did not achieve its purpose", summarized
Andrés Velásquez
, leader of La Causa Radical, one of the parties that has most firmly opted for the prolongation of the current status quo.
An objective that was not shared by several of the young leaders of PJ, who have opted to maintain the continuity of the presidency in charge against the criteria of their bosses. "The AN is not only necessary, it is a tool for political change to take place.
We tell Venezuela that we are united and willing
, amid differences, to continue fighting for a free country," summarized Juan Pablo Guanipa, vice president. of the AN and leader of PJ.
Discussions, debates, public consultation, pressure, reports and concessions, in addition to the determined commitment of the US, prevented the PJ leaders from convincing leaders of other groups, so they did not reach the required majority.
The reform remained in the middle street and with the separation of powers between Guaidó and the CD
.
The former retains important executive tools, while the DC increases its "reinforced controls", as defined by Guanipa.
Thus, the coordination of foreign policy will remain in the hands of the opposition leader, who will also appoint ambassadors to the countries that support the democratic cause.
Instead,
the DC will handle the rest of the appointments
, which also include human rights, security, humanitarian crisis or migration.
Similar occurs with the defense of democracy and with the representation of the democratic Parliament in the trials that continue abroad after the freezing of funds from the Venezuelan State, attributed to Guaidó, who will be able to recover the figure of the special prosecutor.
Both the latter and the chairman in charge must be accountable to the CD once a week.
At the last minute, the National Communication Center, in charge of providing information on the presidency in charge and on the AN, which will be restructured but will not disappear, was also saved.
"We must make the interim Presidency more agile
,
"
acknowledged Guaidó, who also faces several scandals that have arisen in the environment of the government in charge, such as the Monómeros case, the Colombian subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).
