In these
brief, NECESSARY notes on the latest elections in Venezuela, which have been
drawing international attention, we want to start from the following fact:
That it is
the government of Nicolás Maduro, urged by the serious resilient crisis that
the country has been going through under his government since 2013-2014, with
the drop in oil prices, the main export product, and which supports the rentier
economy of bureaucratic capitalism in Venezuela, to which must be added the
economic sanctions imposed by the government of Yankee imperialism and other
imperialist countries, who has officially opened - with an
"agreement" to hold elections with the Yankee imperialist government
- the doors to greater intervention by the imperialists and their lackeys in
the region in the internal affairs of the country.
The above
is documented with the transcription of the article from the reactionary
newspaper El País de Espana, “Anguish, street protests and international
pressure: the pulse for a verifiable recount intensifies in Venezuela.-At least
two dead and more than 46 arrested due to the repression of the protests that
have spread throughout the country”, from July 30, 2024, where it says:
“The
international community openly distrusts the numbers that Chavismo has
presented. First, because the government has not offered the specific data
recorded in each electoral center. And second, because it has not been proven
that the delay in the announcement of the count was due to a hack from North
Macedonia, as denounced by the attorney general. Countries concerned about the
Venezuelan situation - from the United States to the European Union or Latin
American giants such as Brazil, Colombia and Mexico - demand that the Maduro
government carry out a transparent recount, with the help of independent
auditors, to clear up all doubts.
There is a
lot at stake. Chavismo should be the first to be interested in knowing the truth
about what happened that night, because it needs a victory that is recognized
internationally and that opens the doors of the markets and multilateral
organizations again. Chavismo does not verbalize it, but its status as a pariah
on the world stage bothers its leaders. The same happens with the foreign
press, which it constantly attacks and disdains, but which it nevertheless
reads very carefully. This was an opportunity to break out of this isolation
with which it has lived for years, whether with the current president or with a
new one who would normalize the political life of the country. In fact, these
were the main reasons for setting a date and holding these elections, agreed
after more than a year of three-way negotiations between the opposition, the
government and the White House.”
With this
"agreement", imposed by Yankee imperialism on the Venezuelan
government to hold elections and set a date for them, the US government of the
genocidal Biden and his Foreign Minister Blinken has invested itself as the
arbiter of the "cleanliness of the elections" and guarantor of their
results. E
With the
"agreement" of elections, Maduro's government sold its soul to the
devil in exchange for promises from imperialism, that is, for nothing. Now, he
will not pay the bill for his bad business of surrender, but it will be the
true Venezuelan patriots who will make the sacrifices and defend their
homeland.
What is
demonstrated by all this is the colonial character of the Venezuelan economy,
subject to the economic monopoly of the various imperialist countries, where
the main imperialist country exercising its economic monopoly is Yankee
imperialism.
It is
clear, once again, that Venezuela is a semi-colony of imperialism, mainly
Yankee imperialism, which gives itself the right to intervene in the most
diverse ways in the internal life of the country.
We will
continue to deal with the subject.
