RE: Illegal presidential elections today in Venezuela
Very successful your publication of today, it is expected that after the election results, that is, already the result is told beforehand, because from the beginning the call to elections has been illegal, with expired institutions in their functions, with a opposition that does not help the people, because their desire for power; they are older
I do not know what can be done, after May 20, I think it will be the union of the opposition, if they can get the nation to believe them again
Indeed, the results are probably already decided. I'm not certain that the union will get their image back. I think that new institutions and names will have to arise for people to put their trust on them. The MUD and the AN have already betrayed our trust when they approved of the ANC.
As I wrote in my recent post: "an electoral process organized by people linked to the government, with candidates also linked to the government, it will not result in anything different from the interests of the government. The results that will be announced, will be results that those in power want it to be"
It is also important to realise that the government is intended to be divided into independent branches that have no ideological loyalty to each other and perform no proselytism or campaigning during the performance of their charges. This means that the CNE, which is and should be a part of the government, should not be formed by partial supporters of the current leader of the executive branch. Otherwise, elections will tend to be rigged toward this person.
The same happens with all other powers. The judicial branch (TSJ - Supreme Court) is constitutionally obliged to be neutral and unbiased. Yet, the illegal TSJ is currently formed by members of the socialist party, where they should not be members of any party or profess any loyalty toward any political party.
What we call the "government" here in Venezuela is what could otherwise be called the ruling class that controls all the branches where they should instead be independent. This condition makes it be the way you say. The results will always be whatever those in power want them to be.
Totally. I also wrote about that, but specifically about the CNE.
Something that seems sad to me is that, the Venezuelans and our mediocre political leadership, remained calm while they dismantled the rule of law. Most of the people did not understand the consequences of that. An executive power with absolute powers (it would no longer be the head of government but a dictatorship), without counterweights, will inevitably be corrupted in every way. Venezuelans ignore that for years and let the monster grow bigger and bigger until it becomes what it is today. We did not fight the battles we had to fight.
