The cynicism of Chavez and his supporters can be shown by the events of today. Last night the Mayor of the Metropolitan area, Alfredo Peña, was threatened by a mob led by Deputy Iris Varela who was heard clearly saying “Kill him, kill him” on a TV tape broadcast this morning. While I dont have a copy of the tape, here is a picture of Ms. Varela while this was happening, the bald man in the bottom right is Mayor Peña.
Well, despite this Ms. Varela denies having threatened the Mayor saying “I have never used those terms, I am not an assasin like him”. Meanwhile, the President of the National Assembly William Lara said “I do not know about it..I refuse to believe that such a thing may have happened…”. To top it all off, a group of MVR Deputies, which includes Ms. Varela asked the Gaviria commission to condemn the violence of Mayor Peña. This is the cyniscism that Venezuelans have witnessed for the last three and a half years and which now international observers, such as Cesar Gaviria, are beginning to understand and experience firsthand.
