  • Urnas María Corina Machado: "There can be no elections without me"

  • Anniversaries of 25 years of Chavismo: the utopia that opened the doors of hell

"What a great story we have lived and what we are yet to build and live!" Nicolás Maduro lectured Chavismo from the pulpit of his propaganda on the big day of the revolution, which this Sunday served to celebrate the anniversary of the failed coup against the social democrat

Carlos Andrés Pérez

and also the 25th anniversary of the Bolivarian accession to power.

The Day of National Dignity, as the military coup that failed in the seizure of the Presidency and in the four assassination attempts in a single day is officially remembered, served above all as the starting signal for

Maduro's

presidential campaign

in the year. electoral. That is what the new chapter of apology for the coup was about, in addition to mitigating the repercussion of the act led by María Corina Machado in Calabozo, a plains municipality in one of the most abused areas of the country.

The Bolivarian Fury, a term coined by the president himself, arrived distributed in buses with leaders, officials, militiamen and the meager civil society that the ruling party has left from all parts of the country. Different human streams gathered around the 4F Barracks in the revolutionary bastion of January 23. Inside, the refuge of the uprising lieutenant colonel in 1992, rest the remains of the eternal commander.

Very early, under a thick layer of haze, the soldiers of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces went out to trot with their flags, to make it clear that they (their generals) are the ones who ensure Chávez's successor in power. "A rebellion will never be necessary again," said Defense Minister

Vladimir Padrino López

. Of the 261 political prisoners counted by the Penal Forum, 146 are soldiers.

The Bolivarian march stretched to the Miraflores Palace to listen to Maduro's speech on the day, which did not disappoint. "We have the

world record for elections in the world

, 30 elections and 28 victories for everyone to respect. We always go out to win, however they give it to us, whenever they give it to us," he said.

The most animated ones accompanied

Chávez's son

with that famous phrase of "10 million for the crop", the dreamed electoral ceiling of the revolution that never reached the patriotic plebiscite of December. After two months, there are not even table-by-table results of the referendum, in the end

one of the biggest frauds in history

: experts and opposition calculate that Chavismo added eight million votes until the final 10 despite the fact that the electoral centers were empty All day.

To finish off the move, Maduro has called on his allies and collaborators on Monday to impose the electoral date that is most convenient for him. "Their maneuver is a fraudulent electoral route that violates the will of millions of Venezuelans. I warn about this crude manipulation that reiterates the

violation of the Barbados Agreement

," denounced María Corina Machado, who also this Sunday received the support of exiles and emigrants in different points of the world, including Madrid.

Barbados contemplates that the elections, in which the candidate chosen in the opposition primaries (Machado, with 92.6% of the votes) should participate, will be held in the second half of the year. In the last few hours it has been confirmed that an envoy from

Joe Biden

met with the head of the Chavista delegation after the latest revolutionary attack, which includes the disqualification of the liberal leader.
