Venezuela is showing the world what democracy is

Every day of this world, Venezuela It must confront its enemies’ plans – even the paradoxical position of the UN High Commissioner human rights Michelle Bachelet – who are going to try to destroy Bolivarian RevolutionAlthough it was proven that they were unable to achieve this.

For 20 years, when Hugo Raphael Chávez Firas He won the presidency and set the stage for the restructuring of that country which has the largest oil reserves on the planet, the large conservative conglomerates, with the United States (the United States) as the banner-bearer, are planning the most aggressive plans to destroy the socialist process in this country that is peaceful and loves political dialogue.

Now with the president Nicolas Maduro At the head of the revolution, since Chávez appointed him his successor shortly before his death eight years ago, and with the mistaken belief that the country will weaken in the absence of its historical leader, the Venezuelan people are victims of cruelty only compared to those who have suffered. CubaAt the hands of those who want to preserve imperialism with the loopholes of decadence as the owner of the world.

So far, despite billions of dollars that Washington has set aside to pay individuals, mercenary groups, and political parties, Maduro’s alleged forced exit has not materialized.

Just three months ago, the citizens, mostly revolutionaries and adherents of the ideas of Chávez and Maduro, renewed the National Assembly (parliament), now a demonstration of democracy, with pro-government and opposition MPs. A victory for unity drives those who belong to the Organization of American States (OAS) and the European Union, always meandering as the United States moves, the Lima Group, and some prominent Latin American presidents allied with the most extreme regional provinces.

As the saying goes: “Whoever does not want soup to give three cups, the political leadership of Caracas has announced, this year, the celebration of the major elections, which begin in April with the choice of the new one.” National Electoral Council, Guided by AN. A few days ago, the Legislature’s Nominations Committee announced who would be the 75 eligible candidates to join the National Council for the upcoming elections.

Representative Giuseppe Alessandrillo indicated that the preliminary list of applicants for the positions of university president in the highest electoral body represents 64% of the 114 analysts by the legislature, according to the Caracas Prinsa Latina news agency.

According to these means of communication, of the absolute number of applications that have already been approved, 47 are members of civil society, 10 are universities, and 18 are from citizen authority.

The work of the National Electoral Council is fundamental to the exercise of electoral democracy, and those elected to these positions will remain in office for seven years after their appointment. The National Electoral Council consists of five members – called university presidents – and is responsible for calling the elections stipulated in the schedule, as dictated by the national constitution.

Among the results of the “National Dialogue Table”, in which representatives of the ruling party and the opposition met, that it issued earlier this month the abolition of the law regulating the constitutional periods of public authorities. Political coincidence in those talks allowed for the ballot box to be called – without setting a specific date – for the 23 governors and 335 Venezuelan mayors to be elected simultaneously.

AN President Jorge Rodriguez declared: “In a prudent manner, this National Assembly serves the table of the Democratic Party that will be held this year; there are no longer any obstacles to holding elections under the conditions requested by the opposition.”

In a regular parliamentary session, Rodriguez said: “The possibility that the National Electoral Council (CNE) will call the polls to select the highest state and municipal authorities at the same time came from various sectors and groups of the opposition, and thus“ compliance, ”Rodriguez said at a regular session of Parliament.

According to the Venezuelan press, 95% of opposition leaders in states and municipalities want to run and claim their right to participate in the elections. Therefore, it is envisaged that unprecedented, inclusive, participatory and fundamental elections will be held on the basis of the great agreement on the dialogue and peace table in Parliament.

Shortly after the announcement of the new election cycle, the ruling party Socialist United Party of Venezuela (PSUV) A special plenary session of the Fourth Congress, coinciding with the eight years that have elapsed since Chávez’s death, analyzed the method for selecting candidates for the top two positions at the state and municipal levels.

The PSUV is the largest political force in Venezuela and together with other progressive and left groups, the Great Patriotic Pole, which won the majority in the number of candidates and winners in the previous elections, formed.

One of the most important steps that the PSUV must take is to strengthen the organizational structures and raise its capacity to mobilize in the face of elections. The party’s readiness for the challenge posed by the new electoral appointment is necessary to win the largest number of provinces and mayors.

Of paramount importance, and among the points analyzed in the plenary session held at the Teresa Carreño Theater in the capital, was the promotion of candidates who had leadership at their base, thus strengthening unity with other groups of the great national pole.

The so-called massive elections are the cornerstone of being able to cope with the myriad of measures – from sea incursions to sanctions to kill people of hunger and disease – that the United States and its allies are trying to topple Venezuelan socialism.

The party’s vice president, Julio León, said the PSUV is ready to start the fight, and for this, he said it has 7,790,960 registered militants and millions of other followers.

Great potential for votes to win the most important positions close to the population, included in the government’s plans to achieve, for example, food independence for the country.

While the first appointments are being made to indicate responsibilities towards party cores, Venezuela was again attacked by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner, Michelle Bachelet, during the 46th Ordinary Session of the Human Rights Council, last Wednesday.

The position of the former Chilean president is overwhelming and arbitrary, it seems that she issued a statement at the order of the enemies of the socialist process, especially the White House and its new president, Joe Biden.

The Caracas authorities considered it worrying that the High Commissioner surrendered to the pressures of actors forcing her to agree to biased statements far from the truth, by chanting – the Foreign Ministry specified – media campaigns and speculation.

The Venezuelan government expressed its lack of confidence in the position of the United Nations due to the presence of its office in Venezuela and the existing dialogue mechanisms between the parties, derived from the recently renewed Letter of Understanding on technical assistance and cooperation.

According to the tabloid newspaper Latin America Summary, Last month, the UN human rights rapporteur, Alina Dohan, who has been touring the country for several weeks, gave a very different speech.

Dohan acknowledged at a press conference in Caracas that the coercive and unilateral measures by the United States and the European Union against Venezuela have devastating effects on the food, health and education of the Venezuelan people. “The quality of life has deteriorated due to the unilateral coercive sanctions,” he said, while presenting the initial evaluation of his visit to determine the effects of the blockade imposed by the United States, which threatens the welfare of citizens, despite the efforts of the state. .

The official said the sanctions have a “devastating impact on the entire population of Venezuela” most clearly in low-income residents, women and children, medical workers, people with disabilities or chronic diseases, and indigenous peoples.

Dohan explained that such measures violate human rights and are illegal, as they have not been approved by the United Nations. He acknowledged that the government’s income has decreased by 99% and that the country is currently living at 1% of the income it had before the unilateral sanctions. 76% of Venezuela’s income, as defined, has been set aside for social enterprises, and there is only 1% of the income, which is a miserable amount of money.

Meanwhile, Hector Constant, the Venezuelan representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council, endorsed his government’s willingness to strengthen cooperation with Bachelet’s office, despite the supposed balance last Wednesday.

He always regretted the emergence of cases that were not supported by that case, despite the existence of mechanisms for dialogue between the parties that could verify the truth, instead of joining the media campaign against Venezuela.
