The primary elections that the vast majority of the Venezuelan Opposition is carrying out this Sunday, represent a spectacular defeat for the Venezuelan regime, specifically for the number two in power in Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello Rondón who is the Vice President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela ( PSUV). From the El Mazo program that he hosts, in the press conferences of the Government party, as well as in messages through social networks, he has been the main detractor of the electoral initiative of those who will choose a candidate to confront the power of the ruling party. The elections alone worry him, but even more so the candidacy of María Corina Machado, who has said that she intends to go “to the end” and nothing seems to stop her.

Came the day. This Sunday, Venezuelans will have the possibility of choosing the candidate who will be able to face Nicolás Maduro at the polls next year or the candidate that the regime has. That, of course, if the negotiations that are progressing in parallel at this time are confirmed so that for the first time in more than a decade the Chavista dictatorship is exposed to democratic elections without proscriptions.
