After the Unitary Platform’s access to the CNE registration system was blocked and Manuel Rosales unilaterally announced a candidacy, the Platform managed to register a placeholder candidate: former diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia.
The middle class was always the opposition’s core. But years of political failures and betrayals pushed this group, full of prophetic ladies from El Cafetal, towards depoliticization. In the age of Corina Yoris, is the middle class going back to politics?
María Corina Machado’s strong principles and her persistence to fight for the values of the Venezuelan Revolution of 1958 are breaking down the myths of Chavismo and showing how weak and hollow the regime is nowadays
After the Unitary Platform’s access to the CNE registration system was blocked and Manuel Rosales unilaterally announced a candidacy, María Corina Machado gave a press conference. She reiterated that her candidate is Corina Yoris, said that the regime chose its candidates and spoke of “deceptions and betrayals.”
However, she avoided directly mentioning Rosales and said that she would not abandon the electoral path, insisting on free elections where Venezuelans can freely choose their candidates. “We go day by day. Right now the country is processing enormous disappointment,” she said.
Rosales also gave a press conference. He affirmed his recognition for Machado and his respect for Yoris and explained that “there were just a few minutes left until the process was closed and I decided to sign up to build change.”
The great surprise? Soon after the conferences, and following notorious criticism from the friendly governments of Brazil and Colombia, the CNE gave an extension to the Unitary Platform and allowed it to submit a placeholder candidate: former diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia.
The game just begins.
