Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado rejected this Saturday the proposal of Juan Guaidó to join the construction of a joint bloc in rejection of the Government of Nicolás Maduro and affirmed that it will face “any agenda of distraction disguised of unit”. “My duty is to face any diversionary agenda disguised as unity,” reads a letter sent by Machado to Guaidó that he made public after meeting with the also opponent to address a proposal he recently launched. For this reason, in a video that accompanies the letter, he assures that “I had the expectation to hear a different proposal for the good of the country and of each one of the Venezuelans.”
The opposition woman does not have a parliamentary seat after being dismissed in 2014 and heads the Vente Venezuela party, a movement that brings together a remarkable ability to convene, especially among citizens who have left the country due to the crisis.

The unfulfilled task of removing Maduro
Machado also refers to the appointment of Guaidó as interim president and to evict Chavismo from power: “The country gave you a task that you have been able or willing to fulfill.” He also criticizes that, after 17 months in that position, Guaidó insists “on proposing a National emergency government.” “But, Juan, you are the national emergency government or, at least, you should have been,” he affirms to Guaidó, before adding that he must specify that with his assumption of the interim Presidency a “collegiate government has been created in which has dissolved the separation between the Legislative and Executive Power “. Also, He reproaches him for the fact that his team is the G4, the name by which the four main opposition parties with seats in Parliament are known. He also criticizes his proposal to include sectors of Chavismo in an emergency government, something that he describes as “unpresentable and inadmissible.”
No opposition joint
In the video, Machado assures that, When asked if they achieved an opposition joint that integrates it, “the answer is no” and denied that Venezuelans should choose between the permanence of President Nicolás Maduro “through electoral farces” or the continuity of Guaidó “through plebiscitary consultations.” “Now your proposal is to carry out a new consultation with the population. A route cannot be substituted for spasmodic actions to give the impression of being in motion. What is the purpose of that consultation?”, He asks.
Although it does not specifically mention what the consultation proposal is, it refers to the one made in 2017 to reject the formation of a Constituent Assembly, which asked the Armed Forces to defend the Magna Carta of 1999, in addition to approving the renewal of the public powers and the convening of free elections to form “a government of national union to restore constitutional order.”

Peace and stabilization operation
Faced with that proposal, Machado underlines in his video the need for an alternative, that of a “peace and stabilization operation”, of which he does not give more details but which, he says, needs “a solid strategy” and “reliable leadership.” To do this, it is also necessary for this leadership to “shed accomplices and corrupt people.”
In the letter, he completes that message by telling Guaidó that he always told him “that the departure of the Maduro regime required building an option of force, and that for this the activation of the TIAR (Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance) was important.” Against this background, he considers that “unity is too valuable a concept to be used in political maneuvers” and stresses that “this unity is built around previously defined objectives and under codes of conduct.” “A unit to get out of Maduro and his regime in the shortest time possible through a national and international operation that achieves it? We will be there, as we have been for years”, asserts. Of course, she reaffirms that she will not support “in any way” an alternative that implies “unity, mixing those who propose this objective”, that Maduro leaves power, “with those who want to sabotage” that same exit.
