Mexico City. The regional elections in Venezuela last Sunday served for “pseudo opponents” to wash the face of the Nicolás Maduro regime at the international level, comments the former Metropolitan Mayor of Caracas Antonio Ledezma, who describes as a cruel act to organize this type of elections with a population “mired in poverty”.
The map of Venezuela will be 87% tinted red from now on, and for the next four years. Nicolás Maduro’s regime took control of 20 of the 23 governorates and the important Mayor’s Office of Caracas, while the opposition barely managed to keep three states.
The opposition formed in the so-called G4, the main parties of the most well-known representative opponents are Juan Guaidó, Leopoldo López and Henrique Capriles, they are described as naive when seeing their reactions, as if they had not known what they were going to face for a long time. .
It is Antonio Ledezma who unmasks the G4: “We are witnessing a farce that the only thing that guarantees is to provide the tyranny with the most valuable of its assets, time,” says the former mayor.
Molly de la Sotta, leader of the group of relatives of the military who are political prisoners of the regime, comments to El Economista: “Today more than ever, the international community must listen to civil society, the victims of crimes against humanity and not to opportunistic politicians and cohabiters ”.
The vote was 41% of the electoral roll, the opposition “received a message: they do not represent us,” says De la Sotta.
His brother, Luis Humberto de la Sotta, is a political prisoner. At present he is “without medical attention and with rats in his cell; He has already served three and a half years in prison ”.
The opponent Freddy Guevara has not had the empathy with the civil movement headed by Molly de la Sotta. It is an example that the G4 agenda does not include the issue of political prisoners in the military area. “These people go to Mexico to oxygenate the regime, while our relatives are tortured.”
Antonio Ledezma was jailed in 2015 and two years later he managed to get around the security fence that surrounded his house: he traveled to Madrid.
In relation to Sunday’s elections, Ledezma describes three types of opponents: “those who are complicit in tyranny, those who are only interested in surviving, and those who ignore the ruthless nature of tyranny.”
Without errors
Juan Guaidó called the press yesterday to criticize “Maduro’s dictatorship,” but did not make an assessment of his co-responsibility for what was seen on Sunday. His attitude attracted attention because it seems that the Venezuelan dictatorship was born on Sunday. Venezuelans sent, through abstention, a message to Juan Guaidó.
