Gaviria and impunity

January 6, 2003

As a mediator, OAS Secreatry General Cesar Gaviria has to be diplomatic. Thus, it came as a surprise when he said tonight “In the country a certain impunity has been prospering and this does a lot of damage to demoractic institutions”. Then he said :'(Since April 11th.) No mechanism has been found to carry out a comple and exhaustive investigation, neither ahs happened in subsequent events where some other Venezuelans died”. Given that the Government is in charge of law and order, Mr. Gaviria confirmed what I have been saying all along, this Government only looks into what it wants and there are no civil or human rights for anyone, Pro- or against Chavez. If he is saying this openly in public, imagine what he is saying in private!
