The government begins a readjustment process for January 10. The urgency of normalization is in the environment, noted the Alerta Venezuela analysis team. They warned that, at the domestic level, the “stick” towards dissidence remains.
AlertVenezuela, international human rights analysis and advocacy team, pointed out that President Nicolás Maduro applies the revolving door mechanism in his relationship with international bodies.
«That Maduro accepts the return of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCNUDH) to Venezuela a few days after the presentation of a report in which High Commissioner Turk must report on (non-)compliance with the country to the recommendations of the UN human rights system, it does not seem coincidental,” the organization indicated in an analysis published on December 5.
In this way, Alerta Venezuela pointed out that the aforementioned situation and the acceptance of a technical mission from the International Criminal Court (ICC), “plus the holding of a meeting on the Rosario Islands in Colombia between senior officials of Gustavo’s administration Petro and the Minister of Defense of Venezuela, General Vladimir Padrino López, and the desperate approaches towards the new US administration, are elements that point to normalization through the internationalization of the revolving door, through which “Maduro allows or prevents the passage of international organizations and governments, according to his convenience.”

From Alerta Venezuela they asserted that “if governments and international organizations allow themselves to be trapped by the discourse of normalization, January 10 could come upon them like a slap in the face. Well, Maduro will do whatever it takes to stay in power, including playing the revolving door.
In this sense, they warned that «The theft of the presidential election continues and cannot be normalized. The illusion of normalization that is sold abroad contrasts with the stick that it maintains at home, as just happened in the last week of November with the approval of the Liberator Simón Bolívar Organic Law against the Imperialist Blockade and for the Defense of Venezuela, which establishes up to 30 years in prison and disqualification from holding public office for up to 60 years against those who express support for unilateral coercive measures, without distinguishing between individual and generic sanctions.
The analysis also indicated that the aforementioned law was sanctioned by the National Assembly (AN) of 2020 expressly, “as usually happens with this type of instruments, it incurs the same type of broad, vague and indeterminate concepts of other laws.” recent efforts that aim to restrict civic space, restrict free expression and suppress any dissent.
