On Monday morning, Nicolás Maduro had to create a diplomatic scandal to prevent the focus of tension from being monopolized by the 73% of the votes that were in the hands of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González (currently they already have 82%).
Maduro ordered the expulsion from Venezuela of diplomats from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay, for having dared to ask him for transparency in the results of the presidential elections.
Accustomed to having control of the five political powers of his country: Legislative, Judicial, Electoral, Popular and Executive, Nicolás Maduro was sure, until the closing of the polling stations, that is, at 6 pm last Sunday, that representatives of the National Electoral Council (CEN), installed in all the polling stations, would prevent a significant proportion of opposition observers from delivering the votes where all the votes from each polling station are added up electronically (the system was developed by the company Indra in the times of Hugo Chávez).
That is to say, the link that broke on election night was located in the CNE personnel who decided to “betray” Maduro.
The voting records contain several inviolable locks.
Maduro’s manual planned the system to fall (now it is cooler to say hacking) to focus attention on the 80% of the records where the results were not “so negative for him.” The other 20% would be records from regions dominated by the opposition. In this way, the numbers that Elvis Amoroso (director of the CNE) would present would have an “irreversible” tendency in favor, of course, of Maduro.
They spent six hours meeting with Jorge Rodríguez, his criminal arm, to operate a crisis management.
They lost control through the weakest link, the CNE.
Maduro came out to sing his victory and to tell Milei that he is “ugly.”
On Monday he had to create diplomatic chaos to prepare the strategy to follow.
The opposition has the records. Henrique Capriles did not have them when he accused Maduro of fraud in 2013.
Maduro has two options: arms or exile.
A source close to the foreign ministry tells me that President López Obrador’s government offered Maduro to come to Mexico if he considers it necessary.
They did so with Evo Morales when he committed fraud in Bolivia and various sectors, including the army, decided that he could not remain in power.
They did so with the Peruvian Pedro Castillo the day he ordered a coup against Congress.
Will we see Maduro have breakfast at the Brick hotel in the Roma neighborhood like Evo did?
