Latin America One Venezuela, two parliaments
The people of Barcelona launched themselves to vote from early in the morning
in the electoral repetition forced by
Nicolás Maduro
after the historic defeat in November.
Some did it to punish the abuse, one more, of the revolution;
others pushed
by government blackmail
, which has distributed electrical appliances, gas cylinders and tons of gifts as if they were the Three Wise Men of Caracas.
Huge advantage as it had not been seen for a long time
in the midst of a military deployment that has transformed Barinas into a gigantic barracks
. And a wave of promises of future happiness for the cradle of the revolution, which despite being governed by the Hugo Chávez family for 22 years is experiencing its darkest times,
trapped between poverty, emigration and the collapse of state services.
caused by the disastrous Bolivarian administration.
"Come on Barinas, the time has come! The appointment is with history and the future. Each vote is an expression of the will and commitment to participatory democracy and love for this land,"
the Chavista standard-bearer, former Foreign Minister Jorge , exclaimed yesterday.
Arreaza, with his usual bored tone
. Maduro himself imposed the candidate without charisma in a kind of political paradox: his political membership in the Chávez family with the intention precisely of leaving the Chávez family, after the governments of Father Hugo de los Reyes Chávez and sons Adán and Argenis.
"
The day of the beautiful dawn has arrived in Barinas
," said Maduro from Caracas, who, once his bid for legitimation through the November regional elections failed, has launched himself in a wild Christmas to show himself as the all-powerful presidential candidate of Chavismo for the elections 2024. All this with the cape of Superbigote,
the Bolivarian superhero who fights against the evil of the Empire.
Beyond Maduro's strategy for his own future, the internal division in Chavismo in the Llanero state is so clear that in his statements yesterday Argenis
did not even mention whoever replaced him as a candidate for governor
, who has not hesitated to provoke his old political family by assuring in their rallies that he as governor will only obey his boss Maduro and not the Chávez. Arreaza was married to Rosa Virginia Chávez, the eldest daughter of the supreme commander from whom he separated a few years ago, but whose marriage allowed him to be close to Hugo Chávez during his illness in Cuba and subsequent agony.
"Today we must take advantage of the day
to make a call to the people of Barinas to go to the electoral centers to vote
for the candidate of their choice," aired Argenis Chávez to make clear the family unrest.
The internal fray has somehow favored Sergio Garrido, the opposition candidate
, who has gone from being the only one not ruled out by the carousel of political disqualifications imposed by the ruling party to becoming a standard bearer among those who face the revolution.
To undermine the anti-Chavista vote, the government in Barinas promoted the candidacy of a false opponent, Adolfo Superlano, a candidate of a group called MIN-Unidad, which seeks with those acronyms to resemble the Democratic Unit to snatch the vote from the clueless.
If Nicolás Machiavelli lived today, he would have no better place than Venezuela to update his political theories
, even surely he would closely follow the adventures of Adolfo Superlano. This leader is part of the group of deputies bought by Alex Saab, the Colombian magnate who is waiting in a Miami jail for the trial against him to begin. Luisa Ortega, a former Venezuelan prosecutor,
warned years ago that Saab was not only Maduro's main contractor, but also his front man
.
In addition, Adolfo Superlano, who is posing as an opponent, introduced a precautionary measure before the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) because the electoral result was very tight in November. So it was,
a very fair result but one that finally yielded the victory of Freddy Superlano
, the opposition candidate, who has no family ties with Adolfo. The Supreme Court, the main hammer of the revolution against the democratic Parliament and against the opposition, finally intervened and ordered a repeat of the elections.
The second "opposition" paratrooper sent by Maduro is Claudio Fermín,
a semi-retired leader who has also participated in the dialogue table
between Chavismo and its collaborationist allies.
Two candidacies whose sole objective is to subtract votes from Sergio Garrido.
"The people of Barinas came out to vote," confirmed Garrido in the middle of the day.
The opposition campaign command estimated participation at 40% at that time, when in the first round of November they estimate that 45% voted.
"All of our Venezuela and
the international community are attentive to what happens in this battered but always fierce plains state
," confirmed Henrique Capriles, an opposition leader who has opted for the electoral route to confront Maduro.
"The people have demonstrated their determination in the face of injustice and the lack of conditions," added Juan Guaidó after confirming his tenure as head of the presidency in charge during 2022.
