• Venezuela Maduro counterattacks: there will only be "free elections" without sanctions

  • Venezuela The opposition calls the agreement with the Maduro government "insufficient"

The demands and insults of Nicolás Maduro after the partial agreement reached in the negotiations in Mexico have placed them, once again, between a rock and a hard place.

The democratic opposition, gathered in the Unitary Platform, responded on Saturday to the onslaught of the "people's president" with a hardness rarely seen, even accusing him of "lying impudently."

"The regime has activated a series of actions that seek to get away from the agreements resulting from the negotiation mechanism in Mexico and whose next step is to continue, in the month of December, the negotiation on political and freedom issues, which are the desire principle of Venezuelans: the freedom of our political prisoners, the return of millions of relatives and exiles to our country and decide our destiny with the free vote", the Platform reacted through a statement.

The democratic opposition demands that Mauro not delay the commitment assumed in Mexico and "proceed immediately to set the date, within the month of December, to continue the negotiation with the political and freedom agenda," as agreed in the Aztec capital against Norway, the mediating country, and the rest of the international community present.

The United States, the European Union, Spain, the United Kingdom and Canada not only supported the social agreement reached in Mexico, they also

called on both parties to advance politically.

More than seven million Venezuelans have fled Chavismo and are spread across half the world, especially in neighboring Colombia (three million), Peru (1.2 million) and Ecuador (half a million).

In Maduro's dungeons, 277 political prisoners remain, including 13 women, two of them with Spanish nationality.

The opposition expressed its surprise at the "new conditions to advance politically that are not part of the previous agreements", in reference to the demand that all the sanctions of the international community be lifted so that there are free elections.

In addition, the now called "architect of peace" by revolutionary propaganda has once again "activated a faction of the loyal opposition to simulate a negotiation on their behalf," the statement added.

This is the repetition of the famous "Dialogue Table", launched by Chavismo with the collaborationist opponents to whom the Supreme Court handed over several of the main opposition parties, as well as the deputies bought by the Colombian magnate, Alex Saab, to support Maduro.

"The last of the nonsense (of Maduro) has been the incorporation into his delegation of an Italian citizen married to a Colombian citizen, imprisoned in the US, who, using the hunger of the Venezuelan people, amassed an incalculable fortune and who is also requested by justice of his country", stressed the Platform, referring to Camilla Fabri, Saab's wife, not only imposed by Maduro in Mexico, but also

designated a "human rights defender"

despite the fact that she is accused of money laundering.

Saab is considered by the former Venezuelan Prosecutor's Office as a figurehead for Maduro, in addition to being the main financial operator of the revolution.

"This social agreement (electricity, health, food, education) was only possible to achieve because we have protected (the country) from the insatiable clutches of corruption by Maduro and his entourage," the statement concluded.
