It is not easy to understand what negotiations the White House is talking about at this moment with Chavismo. The current moment is a moment of confrontation, and it is defined when Venezuela says: We reject the theft of the Citgo company by the USA and indignantly reject his Government as part of Venezuela’s unity platform. A flagrant theft from a company valued at more than $8 billion with more than 10,000 gas pumps in the US is a flagrant theft from a company that makes more than $1,000 million a year. Faced with the sanctions imposed on the country by the US government and its allies, it is very difficult for Venezuela to embark on the path to full recovery. You are committed to a political solution that will overcome the crisis in Venezuela. Elections scheduled for 2024 do not represent a way out of the crisis, as the White House-backed Venezuelan opposition has no chance of winning the next presidential election.
The Venezuelan people are dependent on their own strength. Let’s not forget the philosophy of the US governments, the main aggressors of the Venezuelan people: we have no friends or allies; we only have interests. The prolonged effectiveness of the sanctions has caused the United States to lose ground in Venezuelan public opinion. The White House cares little about the opinions of Venezuelans; over time, it has been shown that I support the dictatorship of Macos Pérez Giménez, I support all the governments of the so-called IV Republic and they support the various expressions of the Venezuelan opposition. We find everything: corruption, revenge, divisions, murderers who burn Chavistas alive, hospitals with bedridden patients, public administration structures, and kindergartens with children in care.
The policy of the White House towards the Venezuelan people has been the same since Emperor Barak Obama, the insane Donald Trump, and unchanged with the current Joe Biden, which has represented everything: aggression, blockade, sanctions, and theft of the assets of the Venezuelan people abroad, always with the same allies. If Washington threatens to negotiate with Chavismo but says it recognizes the National Assembly elected in 2015, please don’t expect anything from the White House.
The Venezuelan people have defeated the agenda of the insane Donald Trump, called maximum pressure. There has been an alignment in the policies of the United States, the EU, and the countries that make it up in relation to Venezuela. Today, this convergence is maintained, and that’s a good thing. As is well known, there is no difference in politics outside the White House, whether the Republican or Democratic Party is in charge; it’s about the same aggressive policy of the US governments. Despite the fact that so far several countries of the European Union have been appointed ambassadors for the year 2023, such as Spain, Portugal, and France, vassalage in favor of the White House does not change at all. Actually against the Venezuelan people. Across Venezuelan territory, “there is no voting mood,” with the opposition primaries scheduled for October 22. A reality in which the chavismo bears no responsibility.
There is no primary environment, the opposition faces a gigantic challenge, and people are not asking about the primary. That is the great challenge that the opposition has to face with their White House boss. Fleeing Venezuelan justice, Leopoldo López admitted that one of the opposition’s biggest mistakes was underestimating President Nicolás Maduro’s government.
