Let's drive the unity of action for fighting

The results of the elections were given without surprises. With an abstention index that almost rounds the 69%, which means that of each 10 Venezuelans voters, 7 They decided to refrain.

So the things of that 31% who went out to exercise the right to vote, he 67,6 % He did it for the government option, Meanwhile he 29% He spread among the votes of the right -wing opposition. Of this percentage the 22,1% It was achieved by two of the opposition options: Democratic Alliance and PV. The "other" minority parties of the right -wing opposition obtained a percentage of 6,9 %. That is to say that the option that brings together the right votes as a whole would add a 29%

The left -left breaking option that was expressed on the PCV card reached the percentage of 2,6%.

However; If we see the electoral population as a whole and not only to the effective voters, he 67,6 % of the PSUV-GPP obtained from the 31 % of those who voted, becomes approximately one 17 % of the total, which would be the real political weight of PSUV and its allies in terms of votes. Which allows us to observe that this minority achieved, in current electoral conditions and with the current system, Get domain of two thirds of the National Assembly. Then; he 17 % will handle the 67,6 % of the Legislative Power.

In the same way, The right -wing opposition would only represent the 5 % of the voter people, although in the elections he has obtained as a whole near a 29 % of the votes for the AN.

Abstention

Beyond the race in the G4 to capitalize on abstention as an eventual triumph by other ways, The reality is that exactly the predictable, of what the majority of the population was safe, is that abstention would be the queen of the party. Self -proclaiming owners of abstention is more ridiculous. It is undeniable that despite the wear and tear of Guaidó and company, There is an increasingly less than the Sogue and that could have complied with the orientation to refrain, But in no way represents abstentionism as a whole.

But not only is the right -wing leadership, interventionism and interventionism that wears, The one who opts. Abstention also accounts for the wear of the PSUV machinery, who structured manned that many voters felt forced, somehow, to vote, even if they wish to do it, for the fear of losing their jobs (Despite the miserable salaries), or some few other benefits that are still preserved, as well as not to stop receiving small social accessories (Bonds, CLAP BOXES) To resist the crisis. Not to mention the triquiñuelas and the pro -government advantage.

The discontent of the bases of Chavismo was not expressed in the option of the popular revolutionary alternative (APR) With the Venezuela Communist Party card (PVC). What prevailed in the discontent base of Chavismo was demobilization. Control and blackmail structures at the base are no longer enough to move people to vote as in once.

Abstention has a side where despair is expressed, The break and fed up, But above all things the absence of alternative to the political rot that is presented as a government and of the traditional right opposition. It is as if there was a repressed cry of go! that found expression in the demobilizer abstention,  But not as a weapon of expression of the policy of the right of the G4 that today wanting to repeal the high abstention rate promises more promotion of sanctions, more misery and everything in the name of "democracy" and "freedom".

The vote for the APR-PCV

Along with a part of abstention, The vote for the PCV-APR, In a way it reflects the only strip of effective voters who opposed the government from the left, and in that sense it can be attributed a certain progressive character, But many people dissatisfied with the government, that does not deny what was in other times the "revolutionary process", He tended to see them almost as "more of them", for its very late differentiation and lack of previous resistance to the government of Nicolás Maduro-Militaries-PSUV.

That after so many years of management in which it was destroyed, Before the impávida of the pro -governmental allies, all the conquests of the process, both social and economic and political, as in terms of sovereignty, Despite its friction with the United States. And maybe for that reason, among other, The PCV-APR card did not convince, although at the last minute he campaigned with the salary slogans or against the so -called anti -locking law. He had to load with the consequences of his late and incomplete demarcation, of mainly electoral cut rather than in the true land of the struggles of the working class and the people.

The low vote for this option is the expression of the absence of alternatives by left that accounts for a true break with the government, what did not happen with the PCV as a singing voice of a block in which other minority factors participated and that beyond the complaints, Of the repudiable attacks that they received as a retaliation for presenting candidacies apart from the GPP they have been in tow to have been part of the ANC and having supported policies that have left an important sector of the population from the government suffering the consequences of misery, Hunger and repression.

The votes of the right -wing opposition option

Most of this right voting population, It was expressed by the sector that was demarcated by Juan Guaidó, formed by those who occupied the directions of the matches via TSJ. Functional with the government not only in relation to the economic program by means of anti -locking law, but in antidemocratic mood. This alliance was headed by the evangelicals having Bertucci as a spokesman, which has a captive vote element through the parishioners of the Evangelical Church. This sector is now projected as the "second" political force of the country.

Followed by the Venezuela United Coalition where the homonyms of First Justice and a fraction of will and other parties were expressed in what was presented the opposition of the center with a policy of “dialogue and understanding” as a center option in which Henry Falcón was scored, Claudio Fermín, Juan Barreto, The Mas.

That 5% of the universe of voters in Venezuela or the 29% Of those who went out to vote, account for an opposition that failed to be placed as an alternative. Did not motivate the vote. Failed to build a political space within the right -wing opposition base, partly and among other things, precisely for having had a policy that made the population feel the same team as the government.

The votes for the PSUV and the GPP

The government frantically celebrates the victory built with an architecture with deeply anti -democratic bases. The government obtained 3.558.320 votes, a 67.6% of the valid votes, what really represents the 17 % of the Permanent Electoral Registry. Such is the result that it obtained after systematically prohibiting the legalization of parties, illegalize others, Assault directives via TSJ to assign cards to an opposition that was more coincidence than differences with the government. He also based his victory to the use of the entire State apparatus at the service of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, using resources of all kinds and control and blackmail through the ruling bureaucracy and the base structures that distribute food and control the delivery of bonds in a Venezuela without salary and with one of the highest poverty rates of the continent.

The "victory" has to do with the possibility of the continuity of a policy of delivery of sovereignty, of a mega privatization plan and legal and legal armor so that privatizations are an consummated fact in the shortest possible time. It also represents the continuity of the adjustment against the working class has executed the government. The "new" National Assembly means that the Government controls the only legislative power.

We have said that this new National Assembly is born "shaved", having removed the Executive many of its main powers, especially in economic matters, by so -called anti -locking law, at the service of which will be much of the legislative agenda, in order to consummate privatizations and delivery to capital and foreign powers (China, Russia, without ruling out Europeans and the US), as well as the use of extreme flexibility and precariousness already imposed on the people to guarantee the almost zero labor cost.

The AN promises to be the coal replica of the ANC without debates or discussions. The place where the hardest blow to the Venezuelan population is executed, but above all in which the businesses that will be released from the anti -lock law and that is the way that bureaucracy is consolidated as a new bourgeoisie of the bourgeoisie.

The null vote

The policy of the vote was promoted by socialist tide as a way of seeing us in a common action in an electoral scenario in which not only has we not denied the participation systematically through the refusal, via TSJ, of the legalization of our political organization, but we had no alternatives with which we felt identified.

But the null vote is the great absent of the parliamentary elections 2020. Whenever the new electoral system eliminated the actions that could be executed as a null vote. Despite that, Those who manage to express ourselves looking for the mechanisms or simply letting the time pass for the vote to be canceled, We cannot know what the percentage is since the CNE does not emit the results of the vote null. Only by taking out the accounts presented by the first CNE bulletin accounts for 0,5% that could execute this action.

The conclusion is that the government cannot present the vote null or its results because they would simply express the discontent, A protest to every voice before an authoritarian government, Antiobrero and that has meant a setback to the conquests we obtained within the framework of the revolutionary process. It is the continuous blow to the process when again and again they were giving space to the policies that are implemented for the traditional bourgeoisie and the bureaucracy that ascended as the new component of the same

Build a party of workers

It is urgent and necessary to build and rebuild the political force of the workers, of the popular sectors, Women's, of youth from an anti -capitalist perspective, ecologist, feminist and socialist.

The construction of this force goes through acting in an organized way against the advance of the government in the coup that advises the working class through the elimination of salary and all labor benefits, Against the policy that snatches the lands from organized peasants and peasants to give them to military and landowners, against anti -lock law that is nothing more than dispossession and delivery of sovereignty , against the repression and violation of elementary human rights, against authoritarianism and the cut of democratic freedoms. But it also means confronting the proinjerenncista and interventionist policy of the traditional right with the same force, In addition to strongly face the theft of our resources through the policy of imposing a presidential figure that was not chosen by the people as Guaidó is, or to those who promote military intervention such as María Corina or Ledezma. Also oppose with fury the sanctions that add to the Calvary that we suffer day by day and for the reconstruction of the organisms of the working class regardless of the corrupt bureaucracy and the employer parties, against the payment of the corrupt debt that sacrifices the population, against the depredation of the Orinoco Mining Arch.

To that construction, We invite you to this challenge. We want you to become part of this force that emerges beyond the corrupt and delivery domes, nation embezzlement that are in the government and in their own opposition.

It is not time to give up defeat. It is time for the workers to organize and fight. That we build a force independent of the government domes and all its functional right opposition and that above all things we become a true power option.
