"I think we are in a transition process. It's happening in stages. Sometimes we don't see that certain preconditions must be met for this electoral process to take place. The United States, which has become a key player in domestic politics, has said so. Marco Rubio confirmed it in his meeting with the Caribbean countries: we are heading towards an electoral consultation."
"He was held in a 3x3 meter cell at the headquarters of the Bolivarian National Police in Mariperez, north of Caracas. He remembers it as a filthy prison: scorching hot by day, freezing cold by night, without a toilet or running water, and infested with mosquitoes. They gave him a uniform, and he went 21 days without bathing."
Juan Pablo Guanipa, a 61-year-old lawyer and prominent Venezuelan opposition figure, endured severe imprisonment conditions during his 260-day detention. His first 21 days in a 3x3 meter cell at Mariperez police headquarters were particularly brutal, lacking basic sanitation and hygiene. After initial improvements to his confinement, Guanipa maintained discipline through structured routines and exercise. A Christian humanist politician with Primero Justicia and close collaborator with Maria Corina Machado since 2022, Guanipa expresses conviction that Venezuela is experiencing a staged political transition. He cites international involvement, particularly from the United States and statements from Marco Rubio, as evidence supporting movement toward electoral consultation.
