The candidate of the Citizen Concertation movement for the Primary, César Pérez Vivas, urged the democratic opposition not to abandon the electoral route, despite the disqualifications and the new rectors of the CNE.
In an interview with Adulto Jóven, he confirmed that if a disqualified candidate is elected in the October 22 election, his duty as a democrat will be to accompany him in the exercise of his democratic right, in order to assert the right of Venezuelans.
He did not rule out the peaceful protest, as well as the exercise of contentious rights and denounce this fact before international forums that force the Government to respect the decision of the citizens.
“The Government takes out of the game political actors who at the moment are uncomfortable for it, as has just happened with María Corina Machado, who disqualifies her and prevents her from participating as a candidate. Why? Because Maduro wants the citizen to refrain from getting upset and saying ‘I’m not going’”.
However, despite rejecting this arbitrariness, Pérez Vivas insisted that the democratic forces cannot fall for the government’s blackmail, on which, according to what he said, is anchored in these scenarios to stimulate the field of violence.
«There is a line of the Government to generate violence to see if we get out of the electoral path, we cannot abandon this route; and we must lead them to vote for the unitary candidacy that we are building from this primary process.
He referred to the recent appointment of the new CNE and described it as one more control by Maduro over the Venezuelan institutions: “it continues to be the same control that Maduro has over the institutions, this new scheme that was designated yesterday to create an environment of skepticism, mistrust (…) let’s not fall for Maduro’s strategy.
