On Saturday, June 21, The Gateway Pundit reported on Venezuela’s populist leader-in-exile, Eduardo Bittar, who spoke exclusively to The Gateway Pundit regarding Venezuela’s controlled opposition, Bittar’s embattled political career, his exile, and his God-centered political mission.
“Seven years ago, we were exiled from Venezuela, and we started to share our situation with the world,” Eduardo Bittar told The Gateway Pundit.
“During President Trump’s first term, millions of dollars were given through USAID to [former self-proclaimed president of Venezuela] Juan Guaidó’s opposition. This happened because of President Trump’s genuine desire to see Venezuela free.”
“We know President Trump has the best intentions toward our people. He wants us to be free. He wants us to prosper. But sadly, he will be betrayed again and again if he keeps supporting the same opposition.”
“This is the reason why we need to lead the Venezuelan resistance and rebellion,” Bittar said.
Notably, Bittar has coined the term ‘OppoFiction,’ which he calls “a fictitious opposition, and a Marxist-progressive narrative created by [former Venezuelan president] Hugo Chávez that defends anti-virtues, and must be dismantled in Venezuela.”
“This entire coalition, which I call ‘OppoFiction,’ never supported President Trump, even when he supported them,” Bittar said.
“On the other hand, I have supported President Trump in all of his presidential campaigns. I have attended CPAC, and supported him on social media—unlike the fake opposition figures like María Corina Machado and Juan Guaidó, who never supported him. During the 2020 presidential campaign, the entire ‘OppoFiction’ base supported Joe Biden.”
Bittar spoke in greater detail regarding Venezuela’s complex political factions, which have been corrupted by evident ties to international socialist movements.
“Venezuela has two political blocs. One belongs to an international coalition of communist parties called the Foro de São Paulo—that’s Chávism; the party in power,” Bittar said.
“’OppoFiction,’ on the other hand, belongs to an international coalition of socialist parties called the Socialist International, currently headed by the President of Spain, Pedro Sánchez—who now faces corruption accusations.”
“To make matters worse, the second-in-command of that coalition is Henry Ramos Allup, a Venezuelan. He is the most powerful figure in Venezuela’s political establishment. He makes the decisions, alongside Machado and others.”
“Machado is basically Kamala Harris—everything she proposes mirrors Harris’s ideas. In fact, you can look through social media and see Machado supporting Harris during the campaign,” Bittar said.
Bittar outlined his action plan devised for the purpose of liberating Venezuela.
“Our plan is based on revealing the truth. It has three main pillars: (1) Establish true political leadership in Venezuela, (2) Propose a new movement to lead that effort, and (3) Create a new communications apparatus,” Bittar said.
“This last point is critical: Venezuela has never had a rcommunications platform that promotes conservative ideas and thinkers. In the third part of our plan, we are seeking all the political support we can get, so that our project can succeed within the country.”
“If we align these three elements, we could reignite the resistance both inside and outside Venezuela.”
“Our first mission, from exile, is to build a unit that can destroy Chávism—the regime. This is not far-fetched, because it already happened once during the time of independence. We are now talking about a second independence.”
“Our work, for the moment, must be done entirely outside of Venezuela. Anything we try to do inside the territory right now will fail,” Bittar said.
Bittar drew a clear contrast between Venezuela’s corrupt political factions and the active success of conservative leaders internationally.
“We are basically saying that Venezuela is currently like Cuba,” Bittar said.
“On the other hand, in El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele is an example of our mission’s success. Bukele came to power and did the right thing.”
“When the corrupt factions of power in El Salvador refused to accept the necessary reforms, Bukele took a political stance to correct the problem. This is exactly what we aim to do in Venezuela—only on steroids.”
“We need to complete certain foundational tasks in order to make this happen. Venezuela’s restoration must be multidirectional.”
“For example, when we talk about security, we must replicate exactly what President Bukele is doing in El Salvador.”
“Regarding sovereignty, we need to follow President Trump’s example in the United States. On virtues and principles, we should emulate what Bolsonaro did in Brazil. In economics, we should replicate what Milei is doing in Argentina.”
“We are all patriots who love our nations. We want the best for them,” Bittar said.
Bittar named his relationship with God as the most significant factor in his life and his political mission.
“There is no way I could be doing what I’m doing if the hand of God were not involved. God and my family are the main driving forces behind this effort,” Bittar said.
“I can’t believe there is so much evil—not only from Chávism, but also from those who call themselves the opposition. Despite having the support and funding of the international community, they have failed to save our country.”
“God is with us, guiding us through this process. Every time we feel down, God shows us the way,” Bittar said.
Bittar compared his personal and political values, prioritizing “God, country, family, and liberty,” with the “weakness” and “betrayal” promoted by certain left-wing opponents.
“There are lessons to be learned from the damage caused by the left. The principles emerging from the true right are a direct response to the betrayal from the other side,” Bittar said.
“Our opponents have been caught red-handed. Not just the left-wing, but also the soft right and centrists—RINOs.“
“What people demand around the world today is coherence. People want to feel safe. They want a patriot who will defend them. This is not the time for the weak—it’s the time for the strong man. There is too much chaos. Evil is going unchecked.”
“On the other hand, we are true patriots. We are the strong ones fighting for the people of goodwill. We are the people who defend God, country, family, and liberty.”
“When you are under threat, you need a true leader to guide you down the right path.”
“That’s why I believe the greatest hope people have today is to feel represented by someone who tells them the truth. That’s why I talk about Nayib Bukele, Trump, Bolsonaro, and Milei,” Bittar said.
Finally, Bittar emphasized support from the U.S. and international allies as being essential for Venezuelan conservative populist nationalists to advance the country’s path to freedom and stability.
“We are tired of failure. We believe Venezuela deserves real political leadership,” Bittar said.
“We have lost great friends and brothers in arms. And we still have brothers in arms who remain politically imprisoned.”
“If the US government truly wants to help Venezuela, it must engage with those who are committed to fighting and solving the problem—not with those who offer dialogues, truces, and negotiations with corrupt governments based on rigged elections.”
“We firmly believe that, with international support, we can gain power and restore the republic. This can be accomplished in a single presidential term—around five years.”
“The problem is the so-called opposition leaders continue to appear on mass media without presenting real solutions.”
“The greater problem in Venezuela has been getting across the finish line.”
“We had millions of people on the streets as recently as ten years ago. We had the regime very weakened. Then the fake opposition stepped in,” Bittar said.
