Those who may be delighting in this bread and circus are precisely the Chavista clienteles who follow these events every day like a soap opera in the anxious wait for the final chapter..

There is no doubt that the actions carried out by the government of Nicolás Maduro and his puppet Prosecutor Tarek William Saab do not represent a real fight against the corruption of the regime. If so, Nicolás Maduro himself, the Prosecutor, the Rodríguez brothers, Diosdado Cabello and all their relatives would have to fall because corruption and looting have been the essence of the regime since Hugo Chávez came to power in 1999.
It surprises the unawares that in a State where corruption is part of the system and politics, a choreography is now being presented that pretends to persecute the corrupt. The most cautious understand that corruption is nothing more than a smokescreen to cover up what is actually happening within the regime.
It is the bloody internal struggles to resolve who controls the Chavista state that is at the bottom of the matter. The argument of the fight against corruption is nothing more than the pretext to settle scores between the leaders of the gangs that operate within Chavismo.
There is no surprise with the names of the defendants and the facts attributed to them, since in most cases these are situations that had been denounced and documented by investigative journalists long before. And if there is any room for astonishment, it is because many assumed that this type of conflict for power could be resolved in the most absolute discretion in the bowels of the regime itself, preventing blood from reaching the river.
But copying the Soviet formula, well refined by the Cuban Castro regime, the Chavista state tries to present these events as a lesson to discourage those who entertain the possibility of challenging Nicolás Maduro for power while deploying an intense propaganda campaign. to try to deny his own corrupted essence.
Ironically, only in a regime as corrupt as the Chavista could there be a vigilante body called the Police Against Corruption, which is the best evidence that it is a systemic anomaly and not incidental. This body fulfills the double function of persecuting possible adversaries of Maduro and their respective operators, as well as deploying gimmicky and propaganda actions.
This supposed fight against corruption does not impress any Venezuelan who understands that corruption is in the DNA of the Chavista regime. Those who may be delighting in this bread and circus are precisely the Chavista clienteles who follow these events every day like a soap opera, anxiously waiting for the final chapter. Or better to say, on the verge of paroxysm to know if Tareck El Aissami will finally be liquidated or not. Mario Silva in a cryptic and premonitory message warned them: “Nerves of steel comrades…”.
