PUERTO PADRE, Cuba.- _ This Friday, when Venezuela must have a new president, it will be a crucial day for the Venezuelan nation and the entire American continent; It will, yes, be a particularly conclusive day, for better or worse for reasons of neighborly relations and peaceful coexistence between nations with mutual interests.
It will be a decisive day, and not only for Venezuela but also for all countries of North America, Central America, South America, the Caribbean and the democratic world, interrelated as a socioeconomic, sociopolitical and national and international security system, for a very simple reason. Democracy can win or lose against the Castro-Chavist dictatorship that would consolidate itself as another totalitarian regime in the region, and this, in the context of another kind of “Cold War”, without the USSR, but with other adversaries and no less dangerous because matreros, allies among themselves, where Vladimir Putin now does not stop mentioning nuclear weapons, as Nikita Khrushchev did before, who placed intercontinental missiles in Cuba pointing at the main cities of the United States, and this, while The Cuban communists said and say that they have nothing against the American people.
This Friday, peacefully, for the reconstruction and stability of that nation and its environment, in Venezuela a Government legitimate, emerged last July 28 from the popular vote and the leadership of María Corina Machado, that of former diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia.
But it can also happen that a graduate of the Cuban Communist Party school, Nicolás Maduro, remains in power, violently, supported by national and international communist forces, thus giving rise to the embezzlement and squandering of its natural resources and continuity of the impoverishment of the Venezuelan people, the national fracture and the destabilization of neighboring nations and around the world.
It would do so with the same procedures used by the totalitarian regime Castro-communist led by Fidel and Raúl Castro for more than sixty years, until today, diversifying and increasing the fronts of combat, military and political struggle, more as a defensive strategy, moving away the edges of battle, than for “international solidarity”, as they proclaimed in better times the Castro brothers, and today it proclaims official propaganda in Cuba, exporting doctors, as before it exported soldiers.
It is true that the Venezuelan people with massive, peaceful demonstrations can contain the attack by the Nicolás Maduro regime against the result of the July 28 elections. And it is true that it is the Venezuelan people who can place the presidential sash on Edmundo González Urrutia. But it is no less true that, even if he assumes the constitutional presidency, even so, the dangers against democracy in Venezuela will not end, where important cells of the most rancid Stalinist communism, genuinely criminal, are entrenched, circumstances aggravated, to the point of being transformed. in a human situation, understood psychosocial, derived from the introduction of drug trafficking and Castro-communism.
But remember, never forget, that as early as May 13, 1958, when Fidel Castro was still in the Sierra Maestra, the Communist Party of Venezuela, to demonstrate that it could lead the masses and dominate the streets of Caracas, according to journalistic and intelligence investigations, organized the demonstrations and the attack against the presidential motorcade of the then vice president of the United States, Richard Nixon.
If Nicolás Maduro and his brotherhood maintained power by force, helped by the Cuban communists and other regimes, totalitarian, authoritarian, quasi-democratic or democratic – all with communist or socialist roots in the so-called “dictatorship of the proletariat” or in very specific tribes from beyond the seas – there is also no doubt that, then, the democratic governments of the world will exert pressure on the regime de facto, dictatorial, which as of January 10, 2025 would be implemented in Venezuela.
And, in the execution of these pressures, international diplomatic isolation comes together, so the embassies in Caracas had to remain at the minimum level, without ambassadors, only with chargé d’affaires, which is the lowest rank. Nor is there any doubt about the commercial and financial embargo, which would paralyze the regime, but would also stagnate the Venezuelan people in hardships greater than those they already suffer today.
And, this being so, with the storm looming on the horizon to come over Venezuela and radiate to other lands of the world, let the heads of state, world leaders, and nations meditate and, as the saying goes, “get well.”
Using all possible means, national and international, prevent Nicolás Maduro and his curia from usurping the powers of the State, making the sovereignty of all Venezuelans their own. Help democracy in Venezuela. Banish totalitarianism from Venezuela. And the world will be at least a little safer than it is today because of what may happen this Friday.
