Chavismo is advancing with firm steps in the imposition of fake presidential elections tailored to Nicolás Maduro, who is rejected by 80% of the country, according to different surveys and polls.. After several weeks of meetings, the Chavista parliamentary body hosted the signing of the agreement reached by the National Dialogue Table, made up of parties and economic and religious sectors close to the Bolivarian revolution..

Despite the overwhelming presence of 152 “actors” in the signing of the document, which will be sent to the National Electoral Council (CNE) with 27 different electoral calendars, those who lead all the polls were missing: the opposition leader María Corina Machado and the Democratic Unitary Platform. “It is an arrangement between equals, between members of the same group, which leaves aside the essence of the Barbados Agreement (between the government and the opposition under the auspices of the United States),” counterattacked opposition member Juan Pablo Guanipa..

Chavismo maintains the illegal and unconstitutional disqualification of the opposition leader, whom it intends to replace with an archipelago of collaborationist or docile candidates. Already in 2018, in custom-made presidential elections that were not recognized by democratic countries, the “son of Chávez” won his re-election thanks to the judicial takeover of the opposition parties.

“Here is today the economic, social, cultural, political and religious life of the country. Here are 97% of the political parties duly registered with the CNE,” said Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Chavista National Assembly.. In reality, these are unknown parties, without militancy or intervened by the Supreme Court, with little support at the polls.. Among all the candidates present, including the official one, they barely add up to 22% of the vote expectations, very far from the opposition candidate.

“This new little table, an agglomeration of political figures to choose an election date, is just a facade to maintain forms and tell it with propaganda to the people and the international community. There is no element of opposition in this negotiation, they are people who play on the same side with similar interests. “Why so many turns to choose the date? They are groping and calculating when they are going to do it. There will be elections as long as they control the terrain so that they are similar to those of 2018 or in which there is no competitiveness,” Ana Milagros Parra, political scientist and renowned podcaster, explained to EL MUNDO.

Despite the obvious anger that Maduro shows in his interventions, Machado has maintained his electoral tours, adding one mass bath after another. The revolutionary boss appears so uncomfortable that a group of lawyers has gone to the Supreme Court to order the opposition leader to stop calling herself a candidate and not to tour the country again, to avoid events as epic as the one caused last week in Maturín, east of the country, with emboldened citizens carrying the leader of Vente Venezuela to overcome the siege of the Chavista agents.

The harassment goes beyond the leader herself and her collaborators, although three of her regional electoral coordinators remain imprisoned after their illegal detention. Bolivarian agents have closed the Ecos del Páramo 100.3 FM radio station in the last few hours, as announced by the National Union of Press Workers (SNTP). There are already eight radio stations closed so far this year, which join the 130 closed in different parts of the country since 2022. The police repeated their usual modus operandi and took computers, microphones and transmitters.

Once the television channels and traditional newspapers were bought by magnates close to the government or kneeling to the Bolivarian power, the radio stations constitute one of the main sources of information, especially in the interior of the country.. Independent media, also permanently harassed, fight an unequal battle to inform Venezuelans.

Despite the aggressive communication hegemony, the latest survey, conducted by DatinCorp, confirms the overwhelming advantage that Machado maintains. If the elections were held today in Venezuela, the opposition leader would collect 55% of the support, compared to Maduro's meager 14%.. In a polarized scenario between both candidates, the liberal leader would reach 65% of the votes, with Maduro barely 15%..

If Chavismo maintains the disqualification of Machado, it would not serve to defeat the opposition either, since a unitary candidate would prevail with 53% of the support. And that is precisely the “advice” that the majority (70%) of those surveyed give to María Corina: if she is permanently disqualified, support a candidate from the democratic unity.

In his best electoral performance, and with an evident advantage imposed by force, Hugo Chávez defeated the opponent Manuel Rosales, today governor of Zulia, in 2006, with a lead of 26%.
