The answer is simple: When Hugo Chavez is the perpetrator. In one of his most cynical statements to date, Vice-President Jose Vicente Rangel, who interprets every act of the opposition as fascist or a coup attempt, reinterpreted history and common sense today when he said that Hugo Chávez’ attempted coup in 1992 was a coup of opinion not a coup de etat. Moreover, the more than 200 people who were needlessly killed that day, the Vice-President said they “immolated” themselves for the cause. Meanwhile, Hugo Chávez himself said he could not believe in Sunday’s signatures gathered at “El Firmazo”. How easy it is to believe your own lies! One of the plans in the 1992 coup attempt was that people would take to the streets to support the coup, but nobody did. On Sunday people stood in line and traveled to other parts of the cities to be able to sign the petitions against Hugo Chavez and his Government. More than 4.7 million people signed, but Chavez and his cronies simply refuse to accept the reality of their failed revolution.
