The government of Nicolás Maduro is preparing to close the circle of power on December 6th. The bulk of the international community says that there are no minimum conditions for a free and fair election. But that doesn’t trouble Venezuela’s civic-military regime, as long as it has the support of the army and repressive apparatus.
On the opposite side of the street, the president in charge, Juan Guaidó, develops his policy on three parallel fronts: a rejection of the December election, which has an essential political consensus in the opposition. The second front is the support for the growing sectorial street protests. The third is maintaining a high level of readiness for dialogue and negotiation to facilitate the transition to democracy.
Guaidó proposes that both he and Maduro should step aside to set up a transitional government of national unity, formed by five members, whose mission is to call free, fair and verifiable elections as soon as possible.
