Luego, al grito “#No más dictadura!”; “#Resistencia” se desplazaron este sábado hacia el ministerio del Interior en Venezuela, en desafío al gobierno del presidente Nicolás Maduro tras casi dos meses ininterrumpidos de violentas protestas que dejan 47 muertos.
“Hay que mantenerse en las calles 50 o 1.000 días más, lo que haga falta hasta que Maduro acepte hacer elecciones o se vaya”, señaló Antonio Moreno, un estudiante de 21 años, enfundado con un casco de obrero y un improvisado escudo de madera con la palabra “resiste”, para protegerse de eventuales bombas lacrimógenas.
Ya son más de 10.000 opositores congregados en la principal autopista de Caracas, según cálculos de la AFP, en medio de barricadas armadas con troncos y piedras y un gigantesco tanque de metal, para protegerse de la policía.
De momento, son menos de los cientos de miles que se congregaron el 19 de abril, la más multitudinaria de esta ola de protestas que en siete semanas también ha dejado cientos de heridos y unos 2.200 detenidos.
“Esto ha sido una masacre contra el pueblo, pero a pesar de todo, mientras más represión, más resistencia y lucha por Venezuela”, dijo el líder opositor Henrique Capriles, antes de iniciar la caminata hacia el ministerio del Interior.
“Invitamos a marchar todos los días que sea necesario hasta que haya un cambio en Venezuela”, señaló un enardecido Capriles, a quien esta semana el gobierno le impidió viajar a Nueva York, donde pretendía denunciar la “represión” en el país ante el Alto Comisionado de Derechos Humanos de la ONU.
“Bandido, corrupto, vas para afuera”, gritó.
– “Negociación definitiva” –
En otra parte de la ciudad, Maduro recibirá en el Palacio presidencial de Miraflores a un grupo de trabajadores, que cantando y bailando vestidos de rojo, se aglomeraron en el centro de Caracas en respaldo a la Asamblea Constituyente “popular”, convocada recientemente por el mandatario.
El país está completamente dividido y casi paralizado, en medio de un colapso económico que genera una severa escasez de alimentos y medicinas, y una inflación que según el FMI escalará a 720% este año. Un cóctel que se complementa con altos índices de criminalidad.
La única salida para resolver la aguda crisis política es la realización de elecciones generales y para ello llegó el momento de la “negociación definitiva”, afirmó el secretario general de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), Luis Almagro.
