Venezuelassa äänestetään elintärkeistä presidentinvaaleista – onko aikakauden vaihtumisen aika koittanut Madurolle?

Venezuelassa käydään tällä hetkellä historialliset presidentinvaalit, joita seurataan tiiviisti ympäri maailmaa. Äänestäjät ovat lähteneet uurnille valitsemaan, jatkaako Nicolás Maduro vallassa vai pääseekö oppositio viimein voitolle. Edellisten vuosien talouskriisi ja poliittinen epävarmuus ovat herättäneet kansan toiveet muutoksesta. Vaalien ennakkoäänestys oli vilkasta, ja monet uskovat, että oppositiolla on mahdollisuuksia voittoon, vaikka Maduro on ollut sitkeä vastustaja jo 25 vuotta.

Edmundo González, opposition ehdokas ja kieltojen kohteena olevan johtajan Maria Corina Machadon edustaja, on saanut hyviä tuloksia mielipidemittauksissa. Siinä missä Maduro on toivonut jatkavansa neljättä kahta, Gonzálezin voittamismahdollisuudet ovat näyttäytyneet valoisina, mikä vakuuttaa yhä enemmän kansalaisia lähtemään äänestämään. Tällä kertaa yli 21 miljoonaa venezuelalaista on rekisteröitynyt, mikä tarkoittaa, että jokainen ääni saattaa muodostua käänteentekeväksi.

Monet kansalaiset ovat huolissaan vaalimenettelyn läpinäkyvyydestä ja epäilevät mahdollista vaaliviheltämistä. He ovat kuitenkin valmiita ottamaan riskin ja äänestämään uuden puolueen puolesta, joka lupaa kymmenen vuotta vanhan sosialistisen politiikan päättymistä. Tällä hetkellä tunnelma on jännittynyt, mutta toivo muutoksesta elää vahvana.

Miksi nämä vaalit ovat niin tärkeät? Niiden salat eivät piile vain presidentin persoonassa, vaan myös laajempia yhteiskunnallisia muutoksia odotetaan, jotka voivat vapauttaa Venezuelan kansan talouden painimattomien paineiden alta. Jos äänestäjät valitsevat opposition, se voi asettaa presidentin vaalivoittajaksi, joka avaa sivut kaikelle muulle, mikä voi muuttaa poliittisen kentän ikuisesti.
