Socialist Alliance recovers Parliament: Venezuela turns the page of Guaidó

On January 23, 2021, when the second anniversary of the coup that brought Juan Guaidó as interim president of Venezuela, Caracas will have overcome two obstacles: the first is the departure of the current US administration that fought under its flag the coup efforts, while the salvation of the joke is the president of the embassy. The second of them. However, suffocating pressures and other attempts to achieve Washington-satisfying transformations in its backyard are not the exclusive domain of a single administration. The transformations seem stalled at this time, especially in light of the recovery of the Legislative Council by President Nicolás Maduro, and that the modest participation rates in the elections also made clear the magnitude of the crisis the country is experiencing. under suffocating American pressure. Venezuela.

President Nicolás Maduro retaken the Venezuelan Legislative Council and held the elections at the scheduled time without hearing the intimidation of US President Donald Trump and the hypocrisy of his allies. He did it as firmly as he could. Although it did not achieve a landslide victory with a relatively low turnout, it continued to shatter Washington’s hopes and break its hegemony. Venezuela ended its parliamentary elections in the midst of an economic blockade, accompanied by American anger and European questioning of the integrity of the democratic process. But Caracas, as usual, did not listen to the clamor of threats and maneuvers from Washington and its allies, but instead decided to engage in a confrontation regardless of the costs.
The electoral result given to the ruling Socialist Alliance by the parliamentary majority (67.60%) did not surprise at all. The pro-Washington opposition hid behind the boycott to prevent the deployment of its worsening of popular reality after a series of defeats followed by financial scandals that angered the White House administration, which described the opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, as a fool who proliferates promises and does not achieve any practical results that weaken the authority of President Nicolás Maduro. The quiet election day gave the socialist power significant legislative coverage after what Maduro described as the deviation of the current parliament from the national interest and the adoption of successive US coups and its violation of the constitution, by jumping on the electoral results and appointing an alternate transitional president who divided the country and left it vulnerable to discord and infighting. However, the turnout, which did not exceed the 31% threshold, also heralded the magnitude of the crisis facing the opposition and the authority.

The pro-Washington opposition hid behind the boycott to prevent its deteriorating popular reality from developing.

The reading of the election results by the United Socialist Party was quick. The party, aware of the magnitude of the political, economic and health crisis in the country, knew in advance the nature of the popular mood, which, although the term “opposition pro Washington” was pronounced, is not satisfied with the performance government, as well as the slowdown in the fight against corruption and the rapid adoption of measures to reduce popular suffering as a result of the US blockade. It extends to the needs of all people, including food, medicine and energy. This reading made the Venezuelan president accept the challenge by promising to leave power if the opposition wins. In this, Maduro relied on reliable information confirming the inability of the traditional opposition to win a parliamentary majority, in addition to the national opposition, part of which has separated from the ranks of Washington and another that originally did not join. Guaidó, constitutes a democratic guarantee, especially since his presence does not represent a threat to internal stability, and he is not involved in foreign projects that seek to destroy the state and hand it over to American mercenaries.
But the most important reading announced by Maduro was the return to internal dialogue and social solidarity to save the country. A reading that emerged as the result of a comprehensive review carried out by the “United Socialist Party” before the parliamentary elections, and was kept secret until the electoral picture and its results crystallized. However, partisan reviews spoke of the need to make political understandings, especially with the opposition led by youth currents, to make way for these leaders in public administrations, and reach a political consensus to an acceptable extent to block the way to external pressures, in addition to working on the development of a new economic vision that increases the capacity of The confrontation strengthens the resilience of Venezuelans. The recommendations also spoke, at the review meeting, of diplomatic activity abroad to help break isolation and expand the circle of economic cooperation with several countries that want to get closer to Caracas. However, the most important file raised at the meeting were the messages received by the Venezuelan part of the circle of the president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, about the possibility of holding a dialogue with his next administration, which opens the doors to very important changes in the Venezuelan record, among which it stands out that the Bolivarians have settled the battle for sovereignty in their interest and subjugated. They are the hungry empire, the biggest, brutal and bloodiest.
