Opposition actions show contempt for democratic institutions


With the rejection of the national right wing of the making of elections for the formation of the National Constituent Assembly, and their pretensions to want to activate a general strike in the country, it is demonstrated the contempt that political sector has towards the democratic institutionality of the Nation, said on Sunday the journalist and political analyst Jose Vicente Rangel.

“In this attitude, basically, it is the same it had in the past when they abstained, for example, on the parliamentary elections of 2005, or in the call for a general strike in 2002 that led to a colossal failure. It is present the disregard of this sector for the democratic institutionality, as well as to clear rules for the exercise of politics”, he said during his “José Vicente Hoy” (José Vicente Today) program, broadcast by Televen.

He said that with this constant disregard shown by the Venezuelan opposition leaders about those policies that do not respond to their interests, is what keeps them in an involution, as they cling to strategies in which the persistence of errors prevails.

He pointed out as contradictory the fact that they encouraged a rebellion in the street – since last April, which left more than 70 deaths and more than 1,300 injured – to demand “an electoral exit in Venezuela,” and that Refuse to participate in this popular expression as important as the Constituent, to the point of planning not allow completion of the process scheduled for next July 30.

“To think that the attempt to sabotage the civic act of July 30 with an exercise of forces, throwing their demonstrators on the voting centers, is to believe that Chavismo no longer exists or that it has no capacity to react, or that a National Bolivarian Armed Forces, loyal to the Constitution and to a legitimate Government will allow such provocation”, he said.

He added that in order to prevent such actions, which he described as a delirious adventure of politics, it is necessary for citizens to be alert to the upcoming events that the right wing may try to generate in the streets facing the electoral process.
