"Incomprehensible and without scientific rigor" | Difficult …

From Caracas

The existence of two governments in Venezuela is a fiction that has evaporated internationally. It is maintained only by the administration of Donald Trump and by some right-wing governments of Latin America. During a visit to the Vatican, President Vladimir Putin declared that Juan Guaidó was proclaimed responsible president before God, but that "God did not tell us what was his reaction to this message, he did not gave no sign, return to this transient earth full of sins and guide us through democratic procedures. "Guaidó is no longer what it has ever been.

At the national level, fiction never took the form necessary to simulate a government: in almost six months, Guaidó did not obtain authority, nor command, nor territory. This does not mean that the drama has stopped: on July 5, the day of the signing of the Act of Independence of Venezuela, Guaidó directed an act in the National Assembly, in a government simulation, then a mobilization near the Directorate General. military counterintelligence (Dgcim).

The day was marked at dawn by the report read in the morning by United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet of Geneva. There, he presented the findings of a report that recognizes a single government that, in turn, claims responsibility for, among other things, a situation of health crisis, food and migration, with serious gaps in access to justice and guarantee. human rights.

"The content of this report is incomprehensible, dominated by a selective and biased view, a document lacking scientific rigor with great methodological errors and that seems to be a copy of previous reports." Ignore almost all the information provided by the state only takes into account the information obtained by opposition spokespersons and press sources.It is sufficient to mention that out of 558 interviews conducted, 460 were conducted outside Venezuela, which represents 82% of opinions expressed in the report, "Deputy Foreign Minister William Castillo said in Geneva.

Castillo also pointed to the omission of the report on the causes of the economic situation: "Ignore the serious consequences of the illegality, the criminal and the immorality that the economic blockade exerts on the life of our Venezuela does not deny its problems, but any serious effort to resolve them must take into account the structural causes. "

The celebration of the 208th anniversary of independence was marked by an act of the National Constituent Assembly, with a speech by the Strategic Operational Commander of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Fanb), Admiral Remigio Ceballos, who explained the type of "multiform aggression". "To whom Venezuela is subject, and ratified the command of Nicolás Maduro as commander-in-chief of the Fanb.

The president, for his part, led the military parade in Caracas, where he ratified the call for dialogue and peace: "With good will, the political negotiating capacity will be reached. reach agreements and I advocate dialogue because I believe and I love Venezuela. "

The president's new call for dialogue took place in a scenario where, publicly, the various most visible fractions of the Venezuelan right have announced that they would not return to any rapprochement with the government. Guaidó ratified it at the end of the mobilization Friday before the Dgcim: "the debate is over, the report of Bachelet confirms that it is a dictatorship". The self-proclaimed did not give details on what would be an exit without dialogue, and announced upcoming protests without giving details.

The tracks for a plan without dialogue have been demonstrated in recent months and in recent weeks, both with the attempted military action of April 30 at dawn and with the plots of former soldiers, commissioners and mercenaries unveiled by the government. The videos recorded during infiltrations carried out by the intelligence services revealed to the same actors of the plan how they thought to badbadinate the president, the circle of the government, and to launch military badaults on strategic political and military points. This is not new in a conflict where, less than a year ago, opposition sectors attempted to badbadinate the president by drones with explosives when they were killed. a military parade in Caracas.

The fiction of two presidents hardly exists at the international level. The conflict intensifies however in the preparation of new aggressions. The right announced that Bachelet's report – which ignores all the violent dimensions of opposition even after meeting victims, as the mother of a young man burned alive for being accused of being a chaviste – is a validation to break the dialogue and a support to seek new actions of force.

Regarding the blockade, mentioned in a manner that was ignored by the report, the United States announced that it would continue to increase its attacks, both against Venezuela and its allies. The last measure of unilateral force took place Thursday with the sanction of the Cuban Cuban company by the Foreign Assets Control Office for the oil trade with Venezuela. This measure is added to the list, among other actions, such as the theft of badets, the blocking of accounts, the sanctions imposed on companies, which began several years ago and which has increased month by month because silence from governments and international organizations.

The political climate is complex in Venezuela. Possible forms of resolution still do not appear on the table and this week's events have moved away from what was publicly accomplished between the parties.
