  • The Institutional Military Front in Venezuela questions the legitimacy of the current dialogue table.
  • The organization argues that such forums should not be used for distributing political power.
  • They demand the immediate holding of presidential elections, asserting that sovereignty rests solely with the people.

Venezuela's Institutional Military Front has voiced strong criticism of the ongoing dialogue process, challenging its validity and purpose. The organization contends that these discussions are being misused as a platform for power-sharing arrangements, which they argue undermines the democratic principle of popular sovereignty.

According to the group, the ultimate authority and legitimacy of governance reside exclusively with the Venezuelan people. They assert that any political maneuvering or distribution of power through non-elected channels, particularly by groups lacking a direct popular mandate, is illegitimate and detrimental to the nation's democratic aspirations.

The Institutional Military Front is demanding the swift organization and execution of presidential elections. They believe that elections are the only legitimate means to determine the country's leadership and ensure that the government truly reflects the will of the populace. This stance highlights a significant point of contention within Venezuela's complex political landscape.
