A well-known Venezuelan independent analyst considers threats of conservative restoration can be decisive in results of legislative elections this Sunday.
A well-known Venezuelan independent analyst considers threats of conservative restoration can be decisive in results of legislative elections this Sunday.
The subject was approached by Oscar Schemel, director of the consulting company Hinterlaces, of public opinion and market research
speaking before the International Electoral Accompanying Mission that starts today a new day of activities.
Schemel, who renders services mainly to private enterprises, stressed the fact that the Chavist process took roots deeply in the popular sectors, who do not want to lose social inclusion nor other conquered advances in that process.
He added the opposition was absent from the electoral debate and reduces its sermons to using the problems of the domestic economy, like domestic lack of supplies that the government and the Chavist bloc denounce as a rightwing entrepreneurial sabotage.
According to the analyst, the opposition profits from the discontent due to those problems, determining that the votes of the opposition are an expression of unease or desire of corrections and not in favor of Chavism adversaries.
He added that, being far from a valid alternative, as none against Chavism has majority acceptance, the opposition only offers a turn to the past that popular sectors reject because they don´t want to lose inclusions and the conquered advances.
Those sectors do not look for those guilty of the problems, they want solutions, he added, quoting surveys that also show that over 90 percent want dialogue, peace and rejects violence instigated by opposing media campaigns.
According to Schemel, if three months ago, electoral projections favored the opposition, that situation changed and Chavism grew notably, winning territories they were losing.
He added that the trends indicate the possibility that forces of the Great Patriotic Pole who defend the Bolivarian process may obtain 43 percent of the votes and with that, 96 of the 167 seats of the National Assembly (parliament).
