The president of the Delegated Commission of the Parliament of 2015, Juan Guaidoreiterated this Saturday that any personal aspiration “is secondary” in the face of the primaries that the opposition plans to hold to elect the candidate who will face Chavismo in the 2024 presidential elections and added that they must be a drive mechanism and not a “vanity contest«.
«A primary is the concretion of unity, it is a political agreement, it is being all together. The primaries are a mechanism to strengthen unity and thus defeat the dictatorship, not a contest of vanity,” said the Venezuelan opposition leader in a public act in the state Yaracuyas detailed in a press release.
Guaidó insisted that the unity of the anti-Chavista forces is the vehicle with which they can confront the government of Nicholas Maduro and assured that it is time to take to the streets.
“This is the time to be on the streets, to dream of the country we want, the country we deserve, the country our children deserve, the country where services do not fail,” he said.
exercise of the majority
The leader insisted that the organization of a process to choose who will be the opposition candidate for the presidential elections is an exercise of the majority, in which all citizens are invited to participate.
“We are going to exercise a majority, we are going to be with our people,” he added.
This week, the Venezuelan opposition, gathered in the Democratic Unity Platform, reported that it will initiate a consultation process “with all sectors of the country” to determine the formula to hold the primary elections in which they will elect the candidate who will face Chavismo in 2024.
The decision takes place following, on May 16, the group announced that it will choose an opposition presidential candidate through primary elections that it plans to hold in 2023.
