  • Presidential elections scheduled for 2030

    Those who usually profit from exploiting electoral feasts are now engaged in abominable task of obstructing necessary investments for Venezuela proposed by President Trump. They are now betraying him after prior praise. This way, they will never win an election. Electoral timetable is set. There are 1,720 days left until inauguration of re-elected President Delcy Rodríguez. We will not allow current meritocracy to be dismantled by remnants of the Fourth Republic, who have yet to overcome their post-election stress. They make no secret of their intentions for regime change. They lack patience to wait for 2030 elections. It is irresponsible to promote subversive narratives that generate unrest and potential criminality.

    Iran is expected to decide its fate within nine hours. Binary choice resolution has never been as crucial as this historical day. A whole civilization will die tonight. Civilizational war is postponed for two more weeks while an excuse to repeal it is drafted. Conflictive situations in Middle East often prove advantageous for Venezuela. Hydrocarbon prices rise. Investors perceive greater incentives to increase their industrial presence in our stable country. We take this opportunity to revive messages of peace.

    Moment is ripe to expel Europe from Greenland and return our sister nation to Americas. Scant support for reopening Strait of Hormuz demonstrates that annoying Russia is sole mission of an old continent: that tends to demand much from others without offering anything in return. Shameful statements made by prominent members of Venezuelan diaspora in Madrid have been echoed and endorsed by racists. Hitler’s rallies used identical incitement to Nazi hatred. Venezuela must ensure that such people never come to power. Those seeking early elections risk damaging their public discourse. Electoral campaigns demand intense efforts, unsustainable in long run. Securing energy and mining sales remains as priority for Venezuelans.

    Third phase must be aborted. Phases one and two are approved by Venezuela, but forcing regime change prior to 2030 presidential elections is inadmissible. Furthermore, Presidents Trump and Rodríguez get along splendidly: they require no further changes.

    It is fascinating to observe resumption of air connectivity by United States, respectful of Venezuelan sovereignty. Our countries deserve a full restoration of relations, free from sanctions. It is absolutely fascinating to witness joy of American citizens over renewed ties of friendship with Venezuela. This optimism bodes well for economic growth and regional integration. Those who deplore restoration of air connectivity between United States and Venezuela are despicable. They are the same people who, since 2002, through the former PDVSA, have sought excuses to undermine production processes and request sanctions. They have no proposals. 

    Trump’s recent successes in Venezuela bode well for economic and political improvements in Cuba. Example set by Delcy Rodríguez will be expanded upon by whoever is elected president of Cuba. Investments and growth opportunities challenge outdated narratives of electoral circus. President Donald Trump reiterates his complete satisfaction with the efficient government led by Delcy Rodríguez. Rest of international community continues to obstruct Venezuela’s reintegration into multilateral forums. Our alliance with United States shows signs of resilience. Relationship between United States and Venezuela is crucial for jointly addressing global energy market. In addition to American Airlines,availability of flights could be expanded to include Rutaca, Conviasa, Estelar, Delta, Continental, and United. Laser is also joining efforts.

    Perhaps European companies are more interested than American companies in investing in Venezuela, judging by recent oil agreements. Perhaps United States needs to offer greater incentives to its companies to come to Venezuela if it doesn’t want to lose this market share. United States Embassy in Caracas continue publishing insightful occurrences that indeed make Venezuelans dance off the streets. Responses from promoters of social commotion remain inadequate. Such people are on the verge of being denied visas and are subject to deportation. It is likely that once 2030 presidential elections are over, those currently demanding early elections will decide not to recognize results. They will scream fraud again. Claiming victory is usually fruitless for those who besiege international community with untenable complaints.
