Miami.- The Venezuelan community gathered again in Miami-Dade County on Wednesday to support the mobilization of the country’s opposition leaders calling for an arrest warrant for President Nicolas Maduro and even foreign military intervention against the Chavez government.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in the populous Venezuelan city of Doral to once again show support for María Corina Machado and the man they believe was elected President Edmundo González Urrutia.
Some told EFE that they sought to “accompany our colleagues there and continue to exert pressure on the international community.”
Despite a heavy rain before the night meeting, a weekday, the Venezuelan diaspora gathered with banners, flags and photos of those recently “kidnapped” by the Nicolás Maduro regime.
“We are here to do our part and continue to exert pressure so that the international community takes steps to implement the election results,” said Maria Teresa Morin, Machado’s party’s diplomatic coordinator.
Protesters are calling on the International Court of Justice and other organizations to issue arrest warrants for Maduro and his allies in the Venezuelan government.
The political leader added: “We demand the same speed as in the case of (Vladimir) Putin and (Slobodan) Slobodan Milosevic.”
Those in attendance responded to the call of Machado, who led a new mass rally in Caracas in the morning and held meetings of Venezuelans around the world under the slogan “Acta mata sentence.”
The slogan refers to the fact that González’s winning voting record in the presidential election a month ago outweighed a ruling to the contrary by Venezuela’s Supreme Court, which is controlled by the Chavez regime.
Overlaid with the Venezuelan tricolor flag with seven stars (which remained in effect until Chavismo imposed an eighth star), T-shirts bearing the phrase coined by Machado, “Until the End,” and other slogans and images, as well as the uniforms of the national soccer team, participants reiterated their repudiation of Maduro and denounced the growing number of political prisoners.
Morin holds a photo of Perkins Rocha, legal coordinator and representative of the Venezuelan Command, which brings together the opposition against the National Electoral Council (CNE), who was arrested yesterday. Morin recalls that “not only our friends were imprisoned, but also teenagers, people with special needs and women.
The faces of other recent political prisoners, such as activists Rocío San Miguel, Williams Dávila, Humberto Villalobos, Americo de Gracia, Juan Freites, Jorge Alayto Bigot and others, merged with banners demanding the recognition of electoral records, which have been verified as valid in many countries, including the United States.
The Venezuelan Liberation Organization is born
At the Miami demonstrations, members of a new group called the Organization for the Liberation of Venezuela (OLV), which was formed after the elections to campaign for international military intervention against the Chavez regime, appeared for the first time.
“We are formed when we see what the regime did after the elections and what it continues to do. They promised a bloodbath and they are delivering it,” Abelardo Achkar, one of the group’s leaders, told EFE.
The activist assured that “the (US) Monroe Doctrine provides Americans with a United States of America, providing sufficient reasons to enter Venezuela legally.”
For the OLV, which is in the process of legal formation and claims to have established chapters in Chile, Spain and other countries with large Venezuelan populations, Maduro’s actions since the election have justified foreign interference.
At least 27 people have died since July 29, the day after the election, according to human rights groups Foro Penal and Provea.
They noted that the regime has arbitrarily arrested more than 2,400 people and forcibly disappeared at least 50. Political prisoners include 240 women and 114 minors.
