“January 10 is an important date and we have to put all our forces in that direction,” said Machado, referring to the day marked for the winner of the last July 28 elections to be sworn in as president of Venezuela, which the opposition claims it was Edmundo González Urrutiadespite the fact that the National Electoral Council (CNE) proclaimed the victory of Nicolas Maduro.
Machado assured that “Maduro is more isolated than ever” and Venezuelans committed to change have to “move forward, because there is no turning back and we are going to achieve it. We don’t know when, but we’re going to get it.”
Leopoldo Lopezleader of Voluntad Popular – a party that participated in the presidential elections in coalition with María Corina Machado’s party – responded from Madrid to Machado: “you can count on us. Voices will come that want to divide, but those voices will not reach Voluntad Popular.”
“Maduro wants to bury on July 28”
López added that “There will not be other elections until the mandate is respected of July 28″, in reference to the regional and municipal votes announced by the president of Venezuela. “Maduro wants to bury on July 28, but he won’t be able to do it, nor will he be able to bury on January 10,” he said. The candidate of the opposition coalition, Edmundo González, sent a recorded message in which he stressed that “we are aligned to ensure that the will expressed in the elections be respected“.
María Corina Machado added that “the world knows that Maduro is a torturer and a criminal” and “Venezuela is more united than ever,” because the coalition managed to “unite left and right, rich and poor, those inside and outside Venezuela” in the fight against the “dictatorship.” His words were heard by hundreds of militants of Popular Will that connected from Venezuela, Spain, Colombia, Ecuador and 23 other countries.
“In recent months we have had to do the opposition by teleconference, from exile and from clandestinity,” lamented Leopoldo López, “but we are not going to resign and soon we will meet in the streets of Venezuela.” “We assume the commitment of January 10. Now is the time for the fight, inside and outside Venezuela, and for international commitment,” he concluded.
