Elections Bring Discord to Venezuelan Opposition

The Parliamentary opposition in Venezuela is being driven into division, given that part of it led by former Miranda state governor and political opponent Chavez (2012, 2013) Enrique Capriles has already expressed his support for opposition participation in elections called by incumbent Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on December 6, 2020.

On the other hand, self-proclaimed Venezuelan President Juan Guido insists on advocating a boycott of these elections. Guido continues to have the favor of the United States.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro made a political mat move on the political chessboard, namely to the opposition, where on Monday, August 31, 2020 he released 110 political prisoners. This was over time a requirement of the opposition to decide its participation in any national elections.

With this move the opposition has been divided and is certain to be separated, unless the interest of the people prevails primarily and not the self-interest of its leaders, and necessarily in such a case the opposition will appear with reduced percentages in the elections, when on the other hand Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his party will be fully united.

That is why, if the opposition in Venezuela remains divided, Nicolas Maduro’s victory is certain in the December elections.

In addition, the Venezuelan President formally called on the EU and the UN to send observers to guarantee the fairness of the elections and their outcome.  He passionately believes now that his victory is certain.
