“Politics and morality are inseparable. And since the basis of morality is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit that they are sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires to survive. Ronald Reagan
Venezuelan politics is in a moment of definition, where spirituality emerges as a fundamental pillar in the construction of its future. María Corina Machado, one of the most influential voices in Venezuela’s political landscape, has focused her electoral campaign on the spiritual dimension, arguing that the struggle facing the country is more than electoral; It is a fight of good against evil, a spiritual battle. An approach that makes a lot of sense, because Venezuela is a country with a rich spiritual heritage. Faith and religious values have shaped national identity and continue to be a source of strength for many Venezuelans. That is to say, María Corina recognizes that spirituality cannot be marginalized from politics, since it is intrinsic to the identity and morality of the people.
The opposition leader’s approach is clear: María Corina proposes that politics should be an expression of the spiritual values that sustain society. Justice, truth, freedom and solidarity are principles that transcend the material and become the basis for ethical and compassionate governance. His campaign seeks to vindicate these values, placing them at the center of the political debate, involving challenges to integrate spirituality into politics. Since integrating spirituality into politics is not without challenges. There is a risk that spiritual values will be instrumentalized for political purposes, losing their authenticity. Additionally, polarization can lead to spirituality being seen as exclusive to one group or ideology, rather than common ground for all Venezuelans.
Looking ahead to the presidential elections on July 28, Machado’s campaign is presented as a call to the spiritual conscience of voters. She urges citizens to vote not just for policies, but for principles; not only for candidates, but for the moral character they see reflected in their leadership. In such a way, María Corina Machado’s vision of spirituality as the foundation of politics is a reminder that spiritual values can be a powerful force for change. In a country marked by crisis and division, its message offers a perspective that seeks to unite the population around a shared vision of well-being and human dignity.
For all of the above, at the heart of Venezuelan politics beats a fight that transcends the electoral; It is a spiritual battle that defines the character and destiny of a nation. Orientation that María Corina Machado also emphasized during her visit to Trujillo, as she has done in all the Venezuelan towns where she has been received in large numbers. His message not only resonates with the religious fervor of the Venezuelan people, but also sparks a debate about the intersection of spirituality and politics. Because? Because María Corina articulated a vision in which spiritual struggle, understood as the fight of good against evil, is fundamental to understanding the political crisis in Venezuela. In her speech, she suggests that political contest is not limited to the ballot box; It is a confrontation between universal values and forces that seek to undermine them. This perspective resonates deeply in a country where religiosity is a fiber woven into the social fabric.
According to the opposition leader’s approach, the presidential elections are a decisive moment. The presidential elections on July 28 represent more than a democratic process; They are a reflection of the spiritual struggle that Machado describes. At a time when spiritual values are often downplayed in the public sphere, María Corina’s insistence on their importance highlights the dissonance between the people’s religious identity and current political practices. That is, despite the deep religiosity of the Venezuelan, there is a tendency to devalue the spiritual in favor of the pragmatic or the material. Machado challenges this trend, urging the population to recognize that integrity, justice and freedom are matters of spiritual conviction as much as of politics.
Machado’s interpretation of the spiritual struggle in Venezuela is a call to reflection. It invites us to consider how spiritual values can and should inform our political decisions, especially in times of crisis and elections. His message is clear: true victory is not measured only in votes, but in the affirmation of the values that define the goodness and morality of a society, making his call to participate in the upcoming presidential elections more meaningful. This is what she did during her recent visit to Trujillo, María Corina Machado delivered a message of unity and freedom. She called on the population to support the presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia and highlighted the importance of the July 28 elections. Machado emphasized the strength and determination of the Venezuelan people to live with dignity and without divisions, expressing his confidence in the citizens’ ability to change the country.
In her speech, María Corina said: “The world knows that Venezuela is not going to give up,” and spoke about the profound transformation in the values of society, seeking a country where people can live with honest and decent work. He also made a call to action, inviting attendees to join the 600K network and the commandos for Venezuela, citizen movements to defend the vote and ensure the triumph of González Urrutia as the next president. All of this inscribed in an encounter with history: “I want to tell you that I trust each one of you. On July 28 we are going to do our job well and we will write the most glorious page in the history of our country, written by you, good Venezuelans, decent Venezuelans, working Venezuelans, Venezuelans who move us is the love for our land and our children. Venezuela will be free!”, a conviction of María Corina that accentuates the integration of spirituality and politics in the Venezuelan context.
