The former president of the Republic acknowledged that the situation in Venezuela is “very difficult,” but that the president is in a fragile position.
He former president of the Republic, Julio Maria Sanguinettiunderstands that the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro He remains in power by “the bayonet” and not by the will of the Venezuelan people, after what were the elections of July 28, where the National Electoral Council (CNE) announced his re-election as president, a result that was ignored by the United Nations Organization (UN) and several countries globally, including Uruguay.
Last Friday, interviewed by Subrayado, Sanguinetti admitted that a democratic exit from Venezuela “It is very difficult” since Maduro’s government is “authoritarian” and with “a corrupt network around it that includes the Armed forces“.
“Maduro is supported by the bayonet, not by the people,” said the leader of the Colorado Party (PC), who pointed out that this is “a risky support” for the Venezuelan president himself, because “tomorrow a ‘Colonel Chavez’ could appear, angry with his generals, who knows why, tear everything down and we have to start dealing with that colonel.”
“It is very difficult, but we must continue to push, we must continue to demand. The system has never been more harassed, the allies themselves, until now, feel uncomfortable because they realize that they are in a false position, it has happened to Brazil“, he stressed.
“Lula is complacent with the romantic leadership of the left”
On this, Sanguinetti understands that although the Brazilian President Lula Da Silva “He is a democrat,” he is complacent with the “romantic leadership of the left” as the Latin American left “is complacent with Cuba“Cuba is a totalitarianism, not a dictatorship. It is a very sad totalitarianism that has led that country to poverty.”
“Even these countries are starting to worry today. I trust that this (international) pressure can open a gap. We must persist, we must not give up,” he concluded.
