I listened attentively to Delcy Rodríguez's speech before the United Nations General Assembly. I hope that the next time Venezuela occupies that podium, it will be a President elected by the Venezuelans, in free, competitive, and verifiable elections. For that, essential conditions are needed: an independent CNE, full political rights, return of party cards, end of disqualifications, and concrete guarantees with deadlines. Rodríguez spoke of democratic transformation, elections, equality of conditions, political participation, and an urgent reform of justice. She also said that for too long party color weighed more than our condition as Venezuelans. Indeed: for years, everything had to be "red, red," even thought, under penalty of persecuting those of us who insisted on defending a multicolored Venezuela. In her entire speech, she did not mention Nicolás Maduro even once. Now the words heard today at the UN must correspond to actions. May the next word be from us Venezuelans. And may that word be the vote. (translated)
