The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has called for a mass protest this Saturday “inside and outside” the country to demand the “liberation of Venezuela” before January 10, the constitutionally established date for the inauguration of the new government.
“It is up to us to lead this process and ensure that all the actors do what they are supposed to do. We are planning a huge protest on December 1. They ask us what we will do on January 10. No, January 10 is today! January 10 is a redemption movement for the liberation of Venezuela!” the opposition member said during a digital meeting.
With this purpose, Machado has urged “all the actors inside and outside the country” to “do what they are supposed to do” and act “with all clarity and intelligence”, always in accordance with the “fair plan” that the opposition has “designed and followed with discipline”. “That is why we are where we are,” she added.
The former presidential candidate has stressed that “the time is now”, pointing out that “we are seeing a regime that is fracturing, that has real contradictions, tensions and divisions.”
In the same vein, Machado has pointed out that, although not all of these tensions are evident, they are there and are leading to The government of the current president, Nicolás Maduro, is facing “a process of decomposition” resulting from “its cruelty, its corruption and its harshness.”
Faced with this reality, the opposition leader has presented herself as the visible face of a movement built around “the values of human dignity, kindness, solidarity and Justice.” “The 10th concentrates everything that we have built, this movement of redemption for the liberation of Venezuela, to bring our families back, to reunite with our children, to build a country of which we will feel super proud,” she concluded.
