In their quest for freedom, the Venezuelan people must not only defeat a dictator who refuses to leave, but also the communist regime in Cuba who is propping up and supporting the murderous tyrant.
Roberto Alvarez Quiñones explains in Diario de Cuba:
Madurismo-Castrismo Won’t Go Away Quietly
The colossal electoral fraud of dictator Nicolás Maduro and his henchmen was thoroughly prepared well before July 28. The call for elections itself was a big hoax, as were the “negotiations” in Mexico and the Barbados agreements.
They were maneuvers to, taking advantage of President Biden’s weakness, get the United States to remove or ease sanctions and free its frontman Alex Saab, buoy the Venezuelan economy, and reduce international pressure on Venezuela.
What happened was that, surprisingly, the plan failed and the fraud was exposed because military officers ordered to bar the opposition from accessing polling stations as witnesses did not obey, and it was confirmed that María Corina Machado received more than 80% of the vote, according to polling station records, exposing the mind-blowing magnitude of the fraud.
The fraud having been discovered, Maduro has entrenched himself in power because he feels shielded from any coup attempt. The case is that his dictatorship is not the same as the many other that have occurred in Latin America in its long history of autocracies since the dawn of independence 200 years ago.
Madurismo + castroismo = Cubazuela
And that spells the difference. El madurismo is tied to el castrismo, the only totalitarian-communist tyranny in the history of the Americas. Castroism furnishes Venezuela with guardians, guides, and protectors, with thousands of Cubans on Venezuelan soil as intelligence agents, henchmen, conspiracy-savvy political officials, senior military officers, and repressors, including generals and colonels.
There are also Cuban snipers, and even combat battalions. Until recently, it was known that one of them was stationed at Fuerte Tiuna, the military heart of the country, according to journalist Sebastiana Barráez, a specialist in military issues in Venezuela.
There has never been any autocracy in the New World wielding the overwhelming surveillance and control over its armed forces that is exercised today in Cuba and Venezuela. It is because of this mutual entanglement that many talk about “Cubazuela” as a phenomenon.
Havana, through its surveillance and information work within the Venezuelan armed forces, prevents a military conspiracy from flourishing. Meanwhile, the Castroist MININT (Interior Ministry) is in charge of Capo Maduro’s personal security.
To restore democracy the Venezuelan people must not only square off with Maduro and his gangsters, but also with the repressive, logistical, political and counterintelligence machinery of the Castroist tyranny. Without its “Fidelist-Raulist” military interference, Maduro would have fallen some time ago, as Latin American dictators typically have.
