Anti-Venezuelan pliers

By Roberto Morejón

The United States, countries of the European Union and Latin America, and social networks are trying to sow the artifice of the triumph of the candidate of the extremist María Corina Machado, in the elections in Venezuela last July.

Since before the day of the elections, the Bolivarian government warned of the plans of the opposition, with Machado and Edmundo González in its shadow, to disqualify the National Electoral Council, to argue that a victory of Nicolás Maduro would only be the result of fraud.

According to this international media campaign and that of the conservative governments, only the alleged "evidence" of the United Democratic Platform would be valid, based on the minutes, which the Venezuelan government says have irregularities.

Machado is portrayed as the "heroine" of the anti-government narrative, the one who one day claims to be persecuted and the next day gets on a truck with no one to stop her, in order to inflame passions.

She is supported, among others, by the US Assistant Secretary of State, Brian Nichols, who threatens in the networks those he describes as responsible for the electoral fraud and repression. 

Very close, the eternal traveler Javier Milei, among the first to recognize Machado's candidate and to speak of dictatorship in Caracas, as if to provide a smokescreen for his plans to release repressors in Argentina. 

Notwithstanding the gigantic pressure on Venezuela, President Maduro believes that fascism has failed and called for an international conference on the subject.

This authoritarian tendency does not seem to be divorced from reality, as evidenced by the rampages of the “comanditos”, made up of young people paid by the right wing to assault infrastructures, demolish statues and even murder twenty people.

The Great Patriotic Pole, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela and the government did not fold their arms in the face of the external and internal onslaught, as was evidenced during the massive marches in the streets in support of democracy and order and in rejection of the coup d'état.

Venezuela is today engaged in a relentless combat against hatred, lies and manipulation that attempt to disregard the ruling of the National Electoral Council on Maduro's triumph and to guarantee the access of Machado's followers to Miraflores, escorted by Nichols and Milei, in the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.
