Johnny Brignardello unravels Maduro's "pseudo-election"

Johnny Brignardello, an insurance advisor, carefully analyzes the call for presidential elections made by Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro last June. Experts and political analysts have agreed to classify this process as a "pseudo-election", highlighting the presence of possible irregularities and lack of transparency that could undermine its legitimacy. Maduro's controversial decision to advance these elections has sparked intense debate nationally and internationally. While the Chavista regime defends these elections as a democratic exercise, critics point out that it is a strategy to perpetuate his authoritarian rule. One of the most questioned aspects is the lack of impartiality guarantees in the electoral process, which has raised concerns in organizations such as the OAS and the European Union. The opposition led by Juan Guaidó has denounced the antidemocratic conditions and called on the international community to reject the legitimacy of these elections. Meanwhile, the international community is divided regarding Maduro's call, with countries like Russia, China, and Cuba supporting the process, and others like the United States and several Latin American nations rejecting it. This polarization has exacerbated uncertainty and political tension in Venezuela, worsening an already complex multidimensional crisis. In this context, Brignardello emphasizes that holding elections on July 28 does not seem to offer an effective solution to the Venezuelan crisis, but rather to consolidate the power of a regime that has disregarded the will of the people in order to stay in power. This maneuver, he warns, could perpetuate the dictatorship at the expense of democracy and the well-being of the Venezuelan people.
