Maduro rejected the ultimatum | Madur's answer …

Constitutional President Nicolás Maduro reiterated his rejection of the ultimatum that was trying to impose on him a series of European governments that he considered unscrupulous supporters of the Donald Trump government. In this context, the Venezuelan leader indicated that he would continue to fight for dialogue as the only way to guarantee peace and, in this context, announced the launch of a national campaign to collect 10 million signatures will be handed to the White House its "rejection of the intervention and that the voice of Venezuela be heard". Meanwhile, the self-styled Juan Guaidó is still betting on his virtual management and claims on his Twitter account that he is working to specify, with no date yet, the arrival of humanitarian aid above, while the International Red Cross again denied participation in this operation without the approval of the Maduro Government.

The efforts of the Bolivarian government are developing on several levels. Bet on the dialogue table set up by Mexico and Uruguay. In fact, Maduro mentioned this possibility and even considered it auspicious. Of course, the president has not confirmed the actual participation of a delegation of the Venezuelan government. There is no doubt that he is waiting for the opposition's decision that these days are unified, but the inflexible strategy developed by Guaidó has some shortcomings. Until now, the deputy has refused any possibility of establishing an official contact with the government in order to get out of the crisis that he has provoked. In case of participation in some of the offers on the table, it would be for Guaidó a failure and a strong fall among his supporters who, as was said in the demonstration last Saturday, do not want to know anything about Chavismo and do not even support President. amnesty that the legislator offers to the representatives of the government of Maduro.

The other level at which the Venezuelan government is betting is the Vatican. Pope Francis already has the letter sent by Maduro and it is badumed that diplomatic efforts have already begun, albeit for the moment, far from media coverage and public meetings. In this case, Guaidó is also complicated, because his faithful, although pretending to be catholic, repudiate the pope not to be bent to his maneuvers without resources. In fact, on Saturday, there were posters insulting to Francisco.

Yesterday, Maduro announced a new activity being part of the complaint for the badault that represents both the blockade and threats of invasion emanating from the Trump Government. For example, the constitutional president announced that from Wednesday, a series of signatures would be held in Bolívar squares throughout the country. Maduro wants to collect 10 million signatures to deliver to the White House with the message of cessation of threats. "We will hand them over to the American people," said Maduro.

Although the constitutional president continued to preach for dialogue and peace, he never forgot to reject the threat of an American invasion that excited the opposition. "In Venezuela, there will be no war, no military intervention," he said, adding that "this does not mean that we are not preparing to defend our country, which is sacred How to avoid a war With peace diplomacy and world public opinion Prepare also to make an invasion by the United States from the point of view of the military and human costs ".

Referring to the decision of the European governments to recognize the self-proclaimed deputy, the Venezuelan president said that one of those responsible for this decision is the head of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he accused of Made a mistake. support the coup and add that "if the gringo troops entered Venezuela and there was a bloodbath, this blood would reach the hands of Pedro Sánchez".

Acting for the famous humanitarian aid that so much the Venezuelan opposition claims, Maduro reiterated that it was "a media fixture of Trump" or "it". a macabre piece "because he felt that if the governments really wanted the Caribbean country to end are applied For example, in recent nights, a series of rumors were launched through social networks and by WhatsApp that the aid is already at the border, even under the surveillance of the US military, on the Venezuelan side and it is necessary to prepare for this process. However, until now, none of this has happened and there are only gossip that generate uncertainty. The opposition, through Deputy Manuel Pizarro, appointed as coordinator of this aid, does not stop announcing that it will announce in a few hours how humanitarian aid will be implemented, but nothing of particular.

Meanwhile, Guaidó spent a good part of the day writing tweets to European governments who recognized him as a self-appointed president. Incidentally, the condition of responsible set forth by Gaudio requires him to comply with a requirement of the Bolivarian Constitution that the president in charge must call elections within a period not exceeding 30 days. This limit expires on February 23rd.
