Tension in Venezuela: Chavista militants attacked Juan Guaidó in a restaurant

Chavista mobs attacked this Saturday afternoon Juan Guaidó, president in charge of Venezuela, in a meeting room in San Carlos, capital of the llanero state of Cojedes after a political act. The revolutionary radicals surprised the opposition leader and his team in a restaurant and took them out with blows, shoves, blows from chairs and stones. The protection of several supporters managed to prevent the onslaught from escalating into an attack that caused injuries.

Already last week, another group of radicals, led by municipal leaders of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), They attacked the opponents who were preparing a political act in Maracaibo, capital of the border state of Zulia. The determined response of the opponents, who threw a shower of chairs against the Chavistas, prevented the attack from becoming worse.

“I tell Maduro clearly: we are here and we will be here until we achieve democracy in our country with our people. They are going to see us throughout the country, we are not going to back down. A week ago they wanted to sabotage, I would say they came out with the boards on their heads, but it was with the chairs on their heads that they came out,” Guaidó stressed after finishing the proselytizing act and minutes before the new aggression.

#11Jun Violence is the negation of politics. Those who support this type of action are not different from those who supported the exterminations of opponents in Europe and Africa in the 20th century.

The Chavista media and collaborationist circles with the Bolivarian regime tried to simulate that both actions are product of the internal divisions of the opposition and not another of the attacks suffered by the leader since his accession to the presidency of the National Assembly in January 2019.

“This is the script of the tyranny: physically attack Juan Guaidó with groups of violent bandits. But they will not be able to stop with their criminal violence the political change that the Venezuelan people eagerly await. We reject and condemn his violent acts against Guaidó,” warned Andrés Velásquez, leader of La Causa R and an ally of Guaidó.

The goal is to achieve the free and fair elections that are owed to us.

Our job is to once again unify that powerful majority that we are the ones who want change to demand the date, the conditions and press for a comprehensive Agreement.#SeMovilizaCojedes pic.twitter.com/T9wZ3lplA7

The opposition leader did not finally attend the Summit of the Americas, despite the fact that the Joe Biden administration valued him until the last minute. The pressure from Mexico and the debate that his presence in Los Angeles would have generated caused the White House decided to avoid more problems and bet on a phone call between the leaders minutes before the official inauguration on Wednesday. From the government in charge it was justified as a strategic action, despite the fact that during the continental conclave different officials evidenced the kind of “stagnation” in which their strategy on Venezuela finds itself.

After the exclusion of Nicolás Maduro, Washington is still waiting for Chavismo to return to the negotiating table in Mexico after having renewed certain licenses to the American oil companies Chevron, the Italian Eni and the Spanish Repsol to return to the South American country.
