The Venezuelan Supreme Court issued a precautionary measure against the referendum scheduled for February 2nd. on the basis that it questions the validity of the participation of one of the members of the Electoral Board in the decision. Such is democracy here, a request by two million people can be stopped because of only one…..
(By the way, it was a weird decision, announced by the Vice-President (!!!) before the Court had a chance to do it and one of the Justices of the Electoral Hall that made the decision was an alternate, different from the one that was part of the Hall this morning, such is justice in the Vth. Republic. Democracy, ha!, the decision, if ratified implies, there is no electoral Board in Venezuela and there can not be an election until the Chavez controlled Assembly selects a new Board!)
Note added: Later today, in a very curious move, the Constitutional Hall of the Supreme Court ruled that the referendum suspended by the Electoral Hall, was valid from the point of view of the question. The Hall ruled the question valid and the effect to be non-binding…..So we are f……. on a technicality and pardon my french, I am not very happy today.
