The president and official candidate for the July 28 presidential elections in Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, recognized himself this Saturday with the David who will defeat Goliath within the elections, a reference that contradicts what he normally boasts in his rallies, wherein he defines himself because the “gallo pinto” – the most important and strongest – who will defeat the “patarucos.”
Based on the biblical story, Goliath is the ‘robust and large’ one, just like the rooster in fights, which Maduro boasts of being, whereas David is the ‘weak’ one, just like the patarucos (roosters which are no good for combating, cowards), an insult with which the president often refers to his electoral adversaries.
For the primary time, Maduro identifies himself with the ‘little man’ who – he claims – will have the ability to beat the ‘huge man’, of whom he normally speaks in a derogatory and defiant method.
“I deliver the David versus Goliath vibe, Goliath won’t be able to defeat us. I’m David, I’m of the individuals, I’m the revolutionary victory,” mentioned the president at an occasion within the state of Anzoátegui, the place, in his contradictory speech, he as soon as once more outlined himself because the gallo pinto.
The story of David versus Goliath tells of the victory of the weak and small – which Maduro described on Saturday as being himself – in opposition to the massive one, that’s, the opposition candidate, whose title he omitted, as he normally does in his proselytizing actions.
The peculiar, world-famous metaphor raises the query of whether or not the president actually considers himself essentially the most “patto” and “most interesting” rooster within the henhouse that he claims to be every day, or the small and weak David who, regardless of all the pieces, defeats Goliath.
In any case, Maduro sees himself because the winner, regardless of recognizing, for the primary time, that he’s dealing with a Goliath, very totally different from the weak and energyless determine he has been describing in latest weeks. EFE
