We are facing a military dictatorship, says Douglas Bravo, a former guerrilla, founder of the Armed Forces of National Liberation, FALN, and the Party of the Venezuelan Revolution, PRV, and a founding member of the Third Way movement.

We are at the end of a historic era and the inauguration of a new one. All the legal instruments that were created, including the national Constitution of 1999, have aged, they became obsolete.

He maintains that the Constitution has been constantly violated by the government, and one of the evidences of such events was manifested in 2017, when the Attorney General of the Republic, publicly expressed with great courage, that the constitutional thread in Venezuela was broken.

Venezuela is experiencing a deep crisis.

The government tries a formula to look for money, and cheats to stay in power, recently launched a silent offensive, to remove the initials from the party leaders of its allies, and the opposition parties, together with the obedient judiciary, to cede said partisan acronyms to its cohabiters, and make believe internationally, that the government of Nicolás Maduro, is going to hold a democratic, transparent elections, for this December 6, 2020, with an electoral power that is obedient and submissive to the executive power.

This usurping regime of Nicolás Maduro is not Marxist, Leninist, or revolutionary, or nationalist, or Trotskyist or Maoist, this is a new political system, based on domination.

Agriculture is collapsed, the basic state enterprises are bankrupt, the industrial apparatus is on the ground, the oil refineries are destroyed.

The parliamentary elections of this December 6, 2020, have already been prepared to be legitimized, and the parties that participate in this Fraud are collaborating with the permanence in power of this authoritarian, anti-democratic, anti-popular, repressive, criminal regime.

Douglas Bravo, says that there is a process of social struggles, which grows daily, which are health workers, oil workers, the poor middle class, university professors, students, indigenous people, peasants, and agricultural producers, they have had the virtue of protesting in the street.

There is hunger in Venezuela and it reached not only the popular neighborhoods that sympathized with Chavismo, but also the government's own middle class, which has created discontent in the popular areas.

We aspire to a civic-military, religious alliance that can soon call a great popular demonstration, and the workers call a General Strike, affirms the ex-guerrilla commander, and leader of Tercer Camino, that this great popular demonstration against the regime, and For the great changes, all workers, professionals, peasants, indigenous people, nationalist military, students, and religious need it.
