Someday a great book will be written about the heroic struggle of the Venezuelan people against the dictatorship of Chávez and Maduro, that remembers the sufferings that have suffered all these years without ceasing to resist, in spite of the tortured ones and the assassinated ones, to the economic catastrophe - probably the most atrocious that modern history remembers- that has led a potentially very rich country to collective famine and has forced nearly three million citizens to flee, on foot, to neighboring countries to avoid perishing due to the lack of work, food, medicine and hope. Fortunately, the martyrdom of Venezuela seems to be coming to an end, thanks to the new impetus that Juan Guaidó and other young leaders have injected into the resistance.

It seems impossible, is not it? That a dictatorship rejected by the entire democratic world, the OAS, the European Union, the Lima Group, the United Nations and, at least, by three quarters of its population, can survive This latest onslaught of freedom with the proclamation, by the National Assembly of Venezuela (the only more or less representative body of the country), Juan Guaidó as president in charge of convening new elections to return to the nation the lost legality. And yet, the tyrant is still there. Why? Because the Armed Forces still protect it and have laid a protective shield around it. We have seen them, there on television, those generals and admirals mingled with medals, while the Minister of Defense, General Vladimir Padrino, swore allegiance to the spurious regime. What explains this alleged loyalty are not ideological affinities. It is fear. The resource that Chávez used, and that Maduro continued with this military leadership to ensure his complicity, was to buy it, giving him practically the drug trafficking business, in such a way that a good number of these officers have become rich and have their fortunes in paradises fiscal. But almost all of them are registered internationally and they know that when the regime falls, they will go to jail. The promises of amnesty that Guaidó has given them do not reassure them, because they suspect that they are not worthy of Venezuelan territory, and their dirty operations are persecuted and will be punished by international tribunals all over the world.
