As threatened by Hugo Chavez in his Friday address to the Nation, a TV station was visited today by officials from the Infrastructure and communications Ministry to serve notice that a procedure was opened against. The charge is unclear at this time but it has to do with broadcasting ads in favor of the opposition’s marches and demonstrations as well as the promotion of the civil strike. Curiously, the notification did not follow the law because cameras began taping the officials and they left, apparently beacuse they did not wnat their faces shown on TV. Maybe they were ashamed of participating in this type of action. According to the lawyers, the procedure is not valid as the law were not followed. Well, the guy who served the papers now went back to make sure things were done legally, what incompentence.
A second TV station was visited now, according to the lawyers the Government is seeking to suspend the TV station. I am still not clear on what grounds. It does sound like the Dictator is removing his mask, between this and what happened on Friday. The beginning of intimidation or outright repression? What a way to welcome Jimmy Carter to the negotiations!
