Sharpshooters began shooting minutes ago on Plaza Altamira where dissident military have been staying for one month. Roughly 15 people are injured and I see on TV what appears to be a dead person. The plaza is being evacuated as the police tries to capture the sharpshooters which appear to be located in two different buldings.
The Plaza was full of people as crowds continue to protest in both Chuao (Plaza de la Meritocracia) and Plaza Altamira. The TV is saying there are two people dead and El Universal is saying that two of the four shooters were captured.
To give people an idea of the type of inmoral and indecent Government that we have, 40 minutes after the attack on Plaza Altamira the Government’s TV station has yet to report it. At this point we are simply waiting for the Government to say the opposition planned it all.
Reportedly they were not sharpshooters, they were on the ground.
The Vice-President says it is “premature” to accuse the Government for the deaths and that a “serious” investigation has to be made. I wonder if what he has in mind is an investigation as serious as the one carrried out after the April massacre, the country is still waiting for the Chavez supporters in the National Asembly to vote in favor of creating a “truth” commission on what happened then.
Sadly, the latest report is three deaths and twenty eight injured. I have been warning in these pages since I began about the real Hugo Chavez. Gaviria, Carter and HRW have played into his hands. Only yesterday, the opposition had to cancel a march on fears that there would be a massacre.
