Any more evidence that we live in a dictatorship?

January 7, 2003

On December 18th.,  the Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled that the intervention of the Metropolitan police was illegal and the police should be returned to its rightful authorities, the Mayor of the Metropolitan area of Caracas. The Court gave the Government fifteen days to do it. Well, today the Vice-Minister for citizen Security announced that the Government had decided to “reintervene” the motorized unit of the Metropolitan police. Thus I ask anybody, what would happen in any country of the world if a Supreme Court decision like this one was not followed by a Government? What is the name of a country where the Government does whatever it wants? I think it is evident, don’t you? It is certainly not a democracy……
