Venezuela’s opposition faces a critical decision in the coming weeks as they prepare for the presidential elections on July 28. The front-runner, María Corina Machado, has been disqualified by Chavismo, leaving the opposition in a tough spot. Some within the opposition are calling for Machado to step aside and allow a new candidate to lead the charge against Nicolás Maduro. However, others believe that the only way forward is to support Machado and rally around her candidacy.
The debate within the opposition highlights the challenges they face in an environment where Chavismo controls the institutions and sets the rules. The stakes are high as they seek to present a united front against Maduro and prevent being sidelined from the electoral process. With registration of candidates fast approaching, the opposition must come to a consensus on their strategy moving forward.
Despite the differing opinions within the opposition, there is a shared goal of defeating Maduro and bringing about change in Venezuela. The road ahead is fraught with obstacles, but they are determined to continue the fight. The future of Venezuela hangs in the balance as the opposition grapples with these crucial decisions.
