The opposition is participating in the upcoming September legislative election. They have already fielded candidates in the primaries and they recognize their failure to participate in past elections as a very serious error.
What we're witnessing now is that the opposition was concentrated in one party, Acción Democrática. Now, because of the severe political mistakes made by that party, other parties are forming in opposition. They don't want to be associated with those mistakes.
The weakness of the opposition parties remains that you have to get the support of the barrios to win in Venezuela. You have to get the support of the poor. It's not enough just to represent the interests of the relatively small wealthy class and the middle class. So far, those opposition parties—one of them is called Primero Justicia—have been unable to reach out toward the poor or the formerly poor.
