Capriles calls for "perfect unity" to tackle crisis in Venezuela

Dissenting Miranda state governor, Henrique Capriles Radonski, demanded the government to stop giving oil away, increase production to recover the market lost over the last years, and stop threatening the private sector


Opposition Miranda state governor, Henrique Capriles Radonski, asserted on Wednesday that dissenters should work together to face the problems in Venezuela because "this is not a time for disputes," for there is a much bigger aim.

In a press conference with local and international media, the governor stressed that the opposition will be restructured not only around the Unified Democratic Panel (MUD), a body he described as a coordination body, but also around something transcending that coalition. "This is a moment for team work; perfect unity has to be achieved."

He added that he had held talks with former deputy María Corina Machado, and that he would talk to dissenting party Voluntad Popular (Popular Will) leader and Metropolitan Mayor, Antonio Ledezma.

"For those who are asking what we should do, I can tell you that there are proposals which we can make a reality based on people's pressure. If censorship is imposed on the people, then it is time for people to express themselves on the streets," Capriles asserted, as he announced that an anti-government demonstration would be staged soon.

Moreover, he demanded the government, as a first step to overcome the crisis, to stop giving oil away, increase production to recover the market the country has lost over the last years, stop threatening the private sector, provide a balance of the plots of land that have been seized by the government, and disclose the list of the front companies that have received and embezzled foreign currency from the National Center for Foreign Trade (Cencoex).

Capriles: The gov't fears depolarization able to unite Venezuelans

The opposition leader seized the opportunity to ask dissenters to "control their feelings" in light of citizens' reactions to the latest events in Venezuela

Venezuelan opposition Governor Henrique Capriles described the Government's latest moves as mere fascism and said mobilization of people is the way to address it.  

Capriles remarked that the Government showed on Wednesday clear signs of its lack of commitment to dialogue or peace. He stressed that authorities are just propelling the right scenarios to continue with the country's current conflict. "What is behind this? It must be something dark. A Government which has been talking about a coup for one month has surely considered a self-coup," said Capriles during the demonstration held in Caracas on Thursday morning.

The opposition leader seized the opportunity to ask dissenters to "control their feelings" in light of citizens' reactions to the latest events in Venezuela. "This is not the time to go nuts! The Government seeks (protests) end in violence. They fear depolarization able to unite Venezuelans".

Capriles condemns Maduro's call for confrontation among Venezuelans


Governor of Miranda state and opposition leader Henrique Capriles on Thursday condemned President Nicolás Maduro calls intended to fuel confrontation among Venezuelans, and rejected violence.

"We reject violence and strongly condemn Nicolás' call for a confrontation of the people versus the people! Enough!", he wrote on his Twitter account.

Capriles referred to the street protests taking place nationwide in Venezuela in the last three weeks. He said burning garbage and blocking streets was "not right," because "a country cannot live like this every day, with repression every day, with students arrested every day."

"You cannot stop a fire with gasoline. Here there is intent to smother social unrest with repression and bombs, with pellets. Problems will not be solved this way," he said.

Capriles urged his followers "not to fall into the trap laid down by the government."

"Let nobody give in or kneel down because I'm sure you all will have the strength to change what is happening today. The worst thing that can happen to a community is resigning (...) People have the power to choose the government. I call upon people to embrace reconciliation," he remarked.

Capriles: Conditions leading to social unrest in 1989 remain

release detained demonstrators prior to engaging in "sincere, transparent, and effective" talks with the Venezuelan government.

Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski has warned Venezuelan authorities that after 25 years of Venezuela's Caracazo clashes (1989), many of the driving forces behind the riots remain, and that actions were needed to avoid a similar social unrest.

Further on, in a twit, Capriles seized the opportunity to refer to the National Peace Conference held on Wednesday, and claimed that "the government must listen to its people" and not the other way around.


The opposition leader underlined it is pivotal to end repression and release detained demonstrators prior to engaging in any dialogue. "Most of the country wants dialogue, but people want it to be sincere, transparent, and effective. Is that the dialogue the government wants?
