Jaime Bayly reflects on the current political situation in Venezuela, focusing on the strengthening of the Nicolás Maduro regime, the figure of Edmundo González Urrutia as constitutional president in exile, and the actions (or lack thereof) to confront the regime. Bayly describes Maduro as a dictator determined to perpetuate himself in power until his death, in the style of Chávez or Castro, with a government based on repression, fear, and forced loyalty from the armed forces. Maduro, according to Bayly, lives tormented by the paranoia of being attacked, while maintaining iron control over the military, employing fear tactics such as imprisonment and threats of betrayal to those who doubt his leadership. As for Edmundo González Urrutia, Bayly expresses his concern that his figure may lose relevance, as happened previously with Juan Guaidó. He criticizes González Urrutia's decision to have promised to return to Venezuela on January 10 without fulfilling it, although he understands that the risks to his personal safety and freedom justified his decision not to travel. He notes that the regime has used tactics such as the kidnapping of his son-in-law to exert pressure on him, weakening his position as opposition leader. Bayly also mentions the influence of international actors in the Venezuelan situation. He highlights the role of Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, who, according to Bayly, would be willing to intervene militarily in Venezuela if he had the necessary financial and political support. However, Bayly is skeptical about the possibility that Donald Trump, pressured by economic interests related to Venezuelan oil, would support direct action against Maduro. He criticizes the hypocrisy of the Maduro regime, which decorates torturers such as Alexander Granco Arteaga while brutally repressing the opposition. In addition, he recounts the case of Jordan Goudreau, a former American Green Beret who attempted a clandestine military operation to overthrow Maduro in 2020, but was betrayed and arrested, reflecting the lack of effective international support for actions of this kind. Bayly concludes by stressing that the Maduro regime will not hand over power peacefully and that it will be necessary to deploy superior force to overthrow it. Despite his critical and pessimistic tone, he reaffirms his solidarity with the Venezuelan people and their fight for freedom, although he recognizes that the path to a democratic Venezuela remains uncertain and full of obstacles.
