In an audio message released on her social networks, María Corina Machado sent a message to the country’s armed officials to comply with the provisions of the Constitution and the popular will expressed in the 2024 presidential elections.
Opposition leader María Corina Machado published an audio message on her social networks, addressed to armed officials in the country. In his message, he calls on people to fulfill their responsibilities in safeguarding the validity of the Constitution, including respect for the popular mandate.
The five-minute message includes reflections on the role of the armed forces in the country, according to current regulations, and leads to a call: “The people of Venezuela are united in a single cry and have spoken clearly. The time for definition has arrived and we are only waiting for the collective resolution to act. The time to tear down the last obstacle that separates us from freedom has arrived. I trust in the moral reserve of our men of honor and arms. “I trust that you are just one step away from doing what is right, what God and the Country demand of you.”
The opposition leader’s publication occurs a week after the Minister for Defense, Vladimir Padrino, stated that the Armed Forces will accompany Nicolás Maduro at the inauguration scheduled for next January 10.
In the audio, Machado, who remains in hiding, says to “appeal to the conscience” of the country’s armed officials “so that you ask yourself if you are truly using the weapons that the country has given you for the sacred duties of prevention and protection.” of our nation. And from there he lists questions to be reflected on by those in uniform.
«Ask yourself if those who direct your component order you to use those weapons to guard our territory or if they force you to ignore all those foreign irregular agents who defile and exploit our land. “Perhaps those who should order you to protect our territory are not those who for more than 20 years have demonstrated their irresponsibility to defend Essequibo, which today is seriously compromised by the ineptitude of this tyranny in international courts.”

Machado asks the uniformed officers to examine the organization to which they belong. «Do you feel proud of your current situation? Think about what your path holds and if you want to be part of that or do you want to be part of a change to a bright and decent future? Also ask yourself if those weapons that the Constitution has conferred on you, instead of being used to defend the people, are not being used to subdue and massacre them,” he adds.
The founder of Vente Venezuela states in her message that “the sovereign popular will of Venezuelans was clearly expressed on July 28, that day the people expressed their will for change,” and asked the military not to be complicit or act following a ” “undue disobedience.”
