My new responsibilities in Popular Will include initiating a national =20
movement of miners' unions in conjunction with the regional unions? =20
movement of Bolivar state, and coordination activities for election =20
campaign in the 5th circuit of the Capital District for candidates =20
Richard Blanco and Rafael Veloz, with emphasis on activism for Macarao =20
and Ant=EDmano parishes. In Popular Will we debated over a month on the =20
mixed ticket against the unity ticket, and the thesis of the unique =20
ticket prevailed to restore our relations with the Democratic Unity =20
Roundtable, which had traditionally been tense. Now our policy is to =20
coordinate as much as possible through the Roundtable. We were =20
formerly criticizing for breaking the unity and now we are criticized =20
for strengthening it. Maduro teases on being embarrassed by the =20
struggles at the opposition Roundtable. At least we discuss openly and =20
strive to correct errors, which the ruling party never dares to try.
Several times Maria Corina Machado used Popular Will infrastructure to =20
catapult Vente Venezuela, and now she criticizes the candidacy of our =20
deputy national responsible, Freddy Guevara for the 2nd circuit of =20
Miranda state. It seems that it bothers her to abide by rules and =20
observations made elsewhere. When the Roundtable emits decisions they =20
must be obeyed. Popular Will realized it during the dispute between =20
unity and mixed tickets. Why does Vente Venezuela never seem to be =20
willing to give in? I do support Freddy Guevara. I?ve shared with him =20
several times and know his internal diatribes to reconcile both within =20
Popular Will and within the opposition Roundtable. He is someone who =20
talks to all kinds of people and is challenged to solve many =20
contradictions that others aren?t aware of. Popular Will is not a =20
chieftain party and there?s no blind following to any leader?s speech. =20
We count on many working groups; there we discuss all issues, and =20
always there are people for and against any proposal. As usual I have =20
my independent judgment, which often coincides with the national =20
leadership.
Perhaps therein lays the problem of Maria Corina Machado. She never =20
seems willing to negotiate. The principles and values are so ferrous =20
that any heterodox idea is fought at the level of enmity. It seems =20
healthier now that Popular Will takes its own course and won?t follow =20
blackmail promoted by intransigence. As I realized those mistakes made =20
by those who I once trusted, I?ve taken gradual decisions to search =20
more convenient paths. At this point the opposition candidate does not =20
matter. I myself had the opportunity to be a candidate outside the =20
Roundtable and then analyzing it for several months declined in favor =20
of absolute discipline to the opposition coallition. Hopefully =20
militants of Copei and Vente Venezuela will follow my example and =20
understand that we need absolute unity and we cannot keep kicking the =20
Roundtable.
Once we win the National Assembly, we will enjoy a single =20
parliamentary bloc and promote the National Constituent Assembly, =20
which will provide opportunities for Venezuela to change many issues =20
at once. In a democracy everyone has the right to express our opinion. =20
As we have already decided that all parties must abide by the designs =20
of the Roundtable, any departure from prior agreements will indeed =20
undermine the unity effort that we worked so hard to achieve. Politics =20
mutates and must adapt to changes. The rigidity of principles and =20
values is harmful to implement needed reforms.
What legacy of Chavez for Christ sake? Hyperinflation is greater than =20
200% in 2015; US dollar costs 700 bolivars, Caracas ranks as the most =20
violent city in the world, endless queues to not get anything to eat. =20
The hours I lost at the PDVAL queue are worth more than 21 US cents I =20
used to buy 7 items. The recent visibility of GLBT movement boasted by =20
officialism is a flick of what happened in the US in the 90s, with one =20
full generation of delay. Once the right wins the National Assembly, =20
we?ll enact amnesty law to free all political prisoners, and we?ll =20
convene national constituent assembly to destroy this system that does =20
not work and we?ll initiate a new and better one. Officialism =20
discharged resentment and armed groups for 16 years with impunity. We =20
have hundreds of thousands killed by insecurity, as this scheme favors =20
the thugs. Communism takes away our will and makes us addicted to =20
poverty. The dollar rises because this regime issues inorganic =20
bolivars to finance spending and waste, which enters the economy and =20
as there are no products to buy, then people choose to buy dollars at =20
any price. Exchange control must be dismantled.
China is in the midst of the bursting of its stock market bubble while =20
the US boasts thousands of successful startups. The Venezuelan regime =20
privileges contracts with China so that privates never become aware of =20
currently invented high tech in USA. It is much more important to =20
fight for equal marriage than for Essequibo. Many admit that we lost =20
that territory. We provide our words of encouragement for Exxon Mobil =20
to help develop a region so neglected for so many years. We =20
congratulate the President of Guyana, David Granger, for inviting =20
Australian mining companies to extract gold from Essequibo and =20
contributing to the development of our South American neighbor. Being =20
settled such controversy, we may devote ourselves again to the urgency =20
of the moment which is the adoption of equal marriage.
Tamara Adrian is our transgender Popular Will for the National =20
Assembly whose nomination breaks paradigms. On the other hand, =20
pronouncements continue from churches rejecting equal marriage. This =20
is a declaration of war. Churches must adapt to living in the new =20
times or they?ll gradually continue to receive repudiation of those =20
who denounce their hypocrisy. Obstructionists will be duly accounted =20
for and subsequently entered into a database of human rights =20
violators. Once equal marriage becomes approved, we?ll enter a new =20
phase of legal complaints against anyone who dares to discriminate. =20
They are shooting to kill: those who copying Nazism are inventing all =20
kinds of excuses in impunity for continued boycott to equal rights =20
deserved by sexual diversity. The lobby of intolerance and homophobia =20
is a direct participant in this civil war. Religious fundamentalism is =20
a warmonger and must be defeated immediately.
How many times have we seen fundamentalist Christians marching against =20
violence in the country or against the abuse of children by clerics? =20
Instead of taking care of their own lives, they are responsible for =20
condemning the love between two human beings by sending a message that =20
continues to criminalize, demonize, dehumanize, pathologizing groups =20
of people who have done nothing to their families or anyone else. We =20
have always existed, and with or without the right to marriage we =20
won?t cease to exist, or to join in couples, raising biological or =20
adoptive children, bred by both or either one of the partners. We?d =20
definitely recover our dignity as human beings, as families, as full =20
citizens. We are committed to equality and not to continue opening =20
gaps, inequalities and exclusion.
Conclusion is borrowed from Harold M. Cooper, photographer: "Isn?t it =20
a satanic aberration to keep marriages that don?t work only because =20
what God has joined together no man put asunder? Such marriages are a =20
living hell. Isn?t it a satanic aberration to assert that God created =20
woman as a helpmate of man? It implies that women have to obey =20
whatever man says and pleases. Many evangelical leaders make a living =20
on the innocence of unsuspecting faithful and tithes, as these leaders =20
and pastors do not work and maintain excellent business."
