Long term electoral strategies become clearer for Venezuela. As long as María Machado insists on running for office in spite of remaining disqualified until 2036, and in spite of not waiting for appropriate electoral season, opposition will turn out with no option. They will either concede defeat or find a more suitable candidate. Economic growth remains a priority, as president Delcy Rodríguez reassures us we shall transit in this recovery path until 2040. Any attempts to accelerate timing will clash with determination to abide by entrepreneurial convenience rather than populist politization.
Venezuelans are aware that presidential elections will be in 2030. We shall not allow those who profit from permanent, unscheduled electoral festivities to disrupt proper functioning of current administration. We shall save energies to conclusively crush those who demand everything and propose nothing. Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent supports proposal for Venezuelan oil and gas as candidates for securitization of US federal debt. Our century-long energy development plan would guarantee macroeconomic stability in both countries. Our Central Bank needs to converge towards common yearly inflation target of 2%.
Foreign Minister Oliver Blanco lectured Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Venezuela strategies when they met. American top diplomat was photographed in a bad mood, as he realizes that forcing elections outside schedules provided by our constitution is doomed to fail. Nevertheless United States veers towards communism. Thanks to president Rodríguez’s magnanimity, lone supèrpower still retains some allies in international community. Any distraction from our hemispheric, energetic mega proposal will be fiercely opposed as contrary to international security. United States voters provided a clear mandate to Donald Trump’s administration to stop meddling in foreign countries affairs.
María Elvira Salazar faces recount in her formerly safe Florida district: as democrats enjoy preference of voters fed up with capitalism. American electorate has chosen wealth redistribution and multicultural integration transcending judeo christian values. Free market policies may soon migrate towards Latin American countries which decisively veer away from socialism. Widespread political crisis is expected in United States which has lost track of what its role in multilateral world will become in future. Caribbean, South and Central American integration must be reassessed thru a common energy policy so that our Western hemisphere overtakes Middle East as productive region of choice.
Pendulum shifts back and forth from right to left at astonishing speeds. Successful future politicians will learn how to read voter moods to accommodate their promises and policies to unexpected contradictions, rather than sticking to any school of thought that will likely be overthrown at next electoral cycle. Long term stabilization policies required for sustainable growth become impossible when democracies are designed to foster high engagement confrontation between local enemies. It is amusing to watch from sidelines how petty fights expand through sophisticated digital guerrilla tactics. Journalists are to blame for acting as political operators rather than mere dispensers of theoretically neutral information.
Artificial intelligence might experience a temporary financial decline just as dotcoms suffered earlier this century, only to rebound to newer highs in mid or long term. Businesses quickly get accustomed to contract data power to substitute for labor that tends to file lawsuits for any excuse proposed by human rights activists. As machines become more proficient in jobs: formerly performed by humans more interested in self growth than productivity, widespread cultural shifts are expected to initiate. Their scope is unassessed as relevant data continues to be gathered. Long held assumptions are already destroyed and evidence of future stability remains unavailable. Creativity, creators and strategies for success will ultimately be redefined.
