Nicolás Maduro

already has his own cohort of collaborationist candidates, false opposition or close to his theses.

Ten men

, not a single woman, whom Maduro does not even want to see in painting. These are the candidates who have the approval of Chavismo.

BERTUCCI, EVANGELICAL PASTOR.

At the head of El Cambio,

Javier Bertucci

already got a million votes in the 2018 presidential elections, largely due to the distribution of soups that he did at his rallies. And because as an evangelical pastor he draws part of the vote of his parishioners from him. He was tried for smuggling and was involved in the Panama Papers.

CEBALLOS, POLITICAL PRISONER.

Rehabilitated by the Supreme Court (TSJ) on the same day that María Corina Machado was punished, former mayor

Daniel Ceballos

heads Arepa Digital, a party expressly legalized by the TSJ. Ceballos also has the endorsement of Voluntad Popular Activista, which is the fake entity that emerged from the TSJ's takeover of Voluntad Popular (VP), Leopoldo López's party. Ceballos was a member of VP and was one of its leaders closest to López, they even shared a prison in Ramo Verde. Everything changed years later. Once freed, he began a drift that has led him to be "this sad character," say his former colleagues.

ECARRI, THE SHOEMAN'S MAN

. Maduro's great European ally has its own candidate in the race. This is

Antonio Ecarri

, leader of Lápiz, one of those political weather vanes always in favor of the wind. They still remember how he became a defender of the interim president Juan Guaidó and then, suddenly, became a great detractor of the real Venezuelan opposition. He has the support of Timoteo Zambrano, who has always had the support of the former Spanish president.

BRITO, 'THE ALACRÁN'.

This former leader of Primero Justicia (PJ) surprised his colleagues when he was hunted by the portal armando.info on an organized trip to Europe with funds from Colombian magnate Alex Saab, the famous front man (according to the Prosecutor's Office) of Maduro.

José Brito

benefited from the subsequent takeover of his party and took charge of Primero Venezuela. He shares the nickname scorpion with other deputies from the Saab group.

RAUSSEO, THE HUMORIST.

The comedian

Benjamin Rausseo

, El Conde del Guácharo, retired last year untimely from the opposition primary elections: he knew he had been defeated by the political phenomenon that Machado was then leading. A very light opponent, with well-known business dealings with the Government, Rausseo has benefited from the express legalization of his party, CONDE.

RATTI, CHAVISTA AGENT.

For weeks,

Luis Ratti

, a dark character emerging from the depths of Chavismo, presented himself on social networks as the new leader of María Corina's party, who would have intervened in the Supreme Court with which he has carried out so many operations. Such a "feat" was not confirmed, so Ratti has run with another express party, the Popular Democratic Right.

LEOCENIS, CONTROVERSIAL BUSINESSMAN.

Rehabilitated like Ceballos, this businessman is a magnet for scandals.

Manuel García Osorio

went to jail punished for a cartoon, he met with one of the leaders of the pro-Chavez Group of Puebla, AP revealed that he paid for a lobby in Washington.

FERMÍN, THE ETERNAL.

Presidential candidate 31 years ago, this former social democratic leader survives politically in the shadow of power.

Claudio Fermín

served as mayor of Caracas for three years in the last century.

MARTÍNEZ AND ALVARADO, TRAITORS TO THE CAUSE.

Luis Eduardo Martínez

, for the social democrat Democratic Action, and Juan Carlos Alvarado, for the Christian democrat Copei, would be the standard bearers of the two historic parties in Venezuela if it were not for the fact that both parties were intervened by Chavismo and handed over to their friends. Martínez is supported by two other parties also taken by force, among them the Marxist Red Flag.
