The opposition will go to the elections on October 7th as did in 2006 with
one candidate but this time elected through internal elections.

After the process with no verification voting mechanism used and the MUD
decided to destroy the electoral books with the absurd pretext of
preventing for the lists to be used by the government to identify the
participants.

It is possible that we will never know the exact number of people that
went to the polls or the amount that will allow the leader of the group
named Primera Justicia, Henrique Capriles Radonski become the new
electoral “battle horse” of the Venezuelan (and transnational) oligarchy.

To take on the giant task of defeating Chavez at the polls, the current
governor of the state of Miranda has the unconditional support and all the
resources of the country’s bourgeoisie of which he is part of and tied to
family who own communication outlets, industries and real estate among
other things.

A report from Reuters news agency informed only a few days after Capriles’
election that a “Barbados holding company made up by Venezuelan business
executives from Polar companies presented an international arbitrary
request against the government of President Hugo Chavez due to the
nationalization of a fertilizer firm (.)”.

Are there any commitments? Is this an excuse to create a precedent for
other transnational affected by the sovereign decision of the Venezuelan
government to look for protection from international courts?

But the pawn of the opposition has other sustenance: Mark Feierstein, head
of the USAID for Latin America announced that the US federal institution
will supply five million dollars to the right wing in Venezuela under the
pretext to “support democracy” in violation of the country’s sovereignty.

Capriles Radonski, the US candidate as characterized by Chavez, is the
campaign advisor of US Dick Morris, architect of the electoral success of
former president Bill Clinton’s re election in 1996 and creator of the of
the strategy known in the political scenario as “Triangulation”.

In only a few words: “triangular” is taking over the key initiatives of
the opponent that has the popular support or not oppose it directly with
the objective of being attractive to the critical rival electoral segment.

This strategy aims at gaining the sympathy of the undecided population and
motivates the participation in favor of those that traditionally do not vote.

That is how Capriles bases his campaign, incapable of directly confronting
Chavez without affecting his own image or offering another believable
alternative to the model of social inclusion currently constructed in
Venezuela, use deceiving speeches directed to the popular sectors that
will define the elections.

What else can be expected from the representative of the oligarchy that
governed the country leaving behind in the 1990’s poverty which reached
over 60 percent of the country’s population?
