Why all eyes turn to Vladimir Padrino, the generalissimo of Caracas

But the generalissimo doubt. I do not know whether to cross the Rubicon.

With an academic education as few in his ranks, Padrino López he has in his hands the possibility of continuing the mandates of that inner voice that spoke to him when he was a young student. The hours of this end of April and this first day of May will be crucial. This vocation was not pushed by Hugo Chavez but by previous ideals that frayed.

They are the new allies of Mature The successor of Chávez usurped Miraflores and resist. Mortgage the future of Venezuelans by delivering the rich resources of their country at a fraction of the price to the powers that take advantage of the weakness and fragility of the Caracas regime.

Today, the United States National Security Advisor, John Bolton, he again appealed to Godfather so that he's on the side of democracy. "The Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) must protect the Constitution and the Venezuelan people. It should support the National Assembly and the legitimate institutions against the usurpation of democracy. The United States is with the people of Venezuela"

Ironically, Godfather He used a tool that is now permanently blocked by Venezuelans: Twitter. "We reject this coup d'etat movement that aims to fill the country with violence. The pseudo-political leaders who have been at the forefront of this subversive movement have used troops and police armed with weapons of war on a public road in the city to create anguish and terror"he wrote. Then he devoted himself to the reproduction of other messages of support to the regime.

At such a level, uniform fatigue is such that the barracks at the base The Carlota They decided to shelter another politician facing the Venezuelan dictatorship: Leopoldo Lopez. "The soldiers released me in accordance with the order of the Constitution and President Guaidó. Everyone to mobilize. It's time to conquer freedom"said one of the symbols of political persecution in the country after leaving his cell.

The generalissimo, meanwhile, tries to contain an inevitable diaspora in its ranks. Be aware that these 48 hours will be vital and you will have to make a final decision. ¿Miraflores would resist a long military site loyal to Guaidó? Will the experienced officer allow vigilante groups to Maduro shoot those who were their own soldiers a few hours ago? Will he let Cubans and Russians kill their compatriots?

Godfather doubt The clock turns. Bolivar I would know what to do.
