We struggle for conditions to get out of the dictatorship, "Guidó said. If the People's party, JUIDÓ party and the opposition leader Leopoldo López, decided to participate in the election, he did it with reluctance. Main leaders and by the pressure of the bases in different states and municipalities of the country, political sources told the world. Lopez himself does not agree with participating if no maximum guarantees are achieved, something that is still far from occurred, the sources added. Other folk will leaders such as David Smolansky, commissioner of the General Secretariat of the OAS for the crisis of Migrants and Venezuelan refugees, publicly rejected participation in the elections, also because there are no conditions. "Do not vote on dictatorship, it is also a right. Who does not vote in Venezuela today, exercises an act of civil disobedience that challenges social and intimidating control installed by the dictatorship, if there were no conditions just 8 months for the parliamentarians, why are there now?

When asked about the absence of guido In the act - although there were representatives of his party, "Ramos limited himself to responding, with obvious annoyance:" His party is participating, he is not a party ". The politicologist Ana Milagros Parra considers that the decision of the parties to participate, After more than three years without going to elections for lack of guarantees, he leaves Guidó in a difficult crossroads. "If he decides to participate, he goes against all his narrative and position, but the electoral road seems to take strength, with the international community Promoting humanitarian dialogue and looking for an electoral schedule. If it does not participate, it is more isolated, and it is likely that not everyone will continue, becoming more weakened, "said Parra.
