At the end of Julythe Voluntad Popular party ratified its founder, Leopoldo López, as national coordinator, after completing the process of reviewing, updating and relegitimizing the National Team of Activists.
“This party was not born to cohabit with the dictatorship. Anyone who wants to cohabit and feel comfortable with the regimen has plenty of options outside of VP. This party was born to conquer freedom, to lead Venezuela to democracy and give hope to Venezuelans. Let’s not lose the north, let’s not get confused, “López said then via Zoom.
The call for primary elections has caused more divisions in the Venezuelan opposition. On the one hand, politicians such as former governor Henrique Capriles and the politician from Un Nuevo Tiempo Stalin González believe that it is more important to delve into the concrete solution to the problems of Venezuelans; while there are other parties such as the AD of Ramos Allup, Convergencia and Causa R that demand a specific date to organize the primaries.
