Accomplices of barbarism

By: Luis Gonzales Posada - 13/09/2024

Maduro is not a head of state. He is, more appropriately, and more concisely, the head of a criminal organization, similar to the Tren de Aragua gang, but with much more power, number of murders and money.

This is how we should describe a man who has killed, kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured thousands of people. He also caused the humiliating exodus of 8 million of his compatriots; a number that will increase in the coming months due to the scandalous electoral fraud against the candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, who won with 70% of the votes.

In order not to admit defeat, the regime ordered the pompously named Supreme Electoral Tribunal, made up of robed ushers, not to publish the minutes, because, to do so, the government's defeat would be demonstrated.

Those who took to the streets to demonstrate peacefully were brutally repressed, resulting in – so far – 27 dead and 2,300 arrested.

The situation has been (and is) so serious that González Urrutia had to go into exile in Spain. He did so because the Attorney General, Tarek Saab, ordered his arrest. Let us remember in this brief chronicle that Saab is a sinister character who cannot enter the United States and Europe due to his links to terrorist networks, which include Hezbollah.

Regarding this tragic story, we add that González Urrutia's home was surrounded by agents of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN), at the same time that his wife, children and relatives received intimidating messages, including death threats.

These aberrant practices of the Chavista apparatus are reported in reports from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, prosecutors from the International Criminal Court, chilling reports from the OAS and the European Union, as well as all humanitarian organizations.

But it is time to reflect on the role of the governments that support this satrapy.

Cuba is undoubtedly their greatest ally, providing them with intelligence, counterintelligence and political advice in exchange for receiving cheap or free oil, estimated at 20 thousand Cuban troops disguised as teachers and health personnel.

Likewise, Nicaragua, governed by a psychopath who has 350 murders on his shoulders, who confiscates monasteries, assaults temples, closes media outlets and deports dozens of people, after revoking their nationality, acts of barbarism that have caused the exodus of 935 thousand Nicaraguans, according to official figures from the United Nations (UNHCR).

A third supporter of Chavismo is Bolivia, a country where President Luis Arce and Evo Morales are fighting for power, accusing each other of being drug traffickers and corrupt.

This duel between the Andean Caritas and the Andean Tirifilos is taking place in circumstances in which they are suffering a very serious economic crisis, with a shortage of dollars and fuel, which would cause a million of them to move to Peru.

Another of Maduro's partners is Honduras, whose leader, Xiomara Castro, is a Chavista fanatic.

But the situation is more complex considering that Maduro has the support of extracontinental powers.

First, Russia, which supplies them with weapons and grants generous loans; in exchange, Maduro, as a sign of submission, has offered territory for military training.

Other allies include China, Iran and North Korea, as well as communist and far-left parties in the hemisphere. In our country, for example, Vladimir Cerrón and 25 legislators from Peru Libre maintain, without any shame, that the presidential elections were transparent and that Maduro won by a large majority. Several legislators from that bloc even traveled as guests as “observers”; upon their return to Lima, they paid for the tickets, hotels, cars and fine hospitality, applauding the electoral farce.

With the president-elect in exile, it is time for the Peruvian government to recognize him in that capacity, for reasons of diplomatic ethics, unless the president fears the volcanic fury of Cerrón and left-wing congressmen.
