The National Asembly approved today the content bill, also known as the “muzzle” bill. Aimed at silencing the media, the bill was passed at 4 AM. Not bad for an Assembly that after three years has yet to issue the bils required by the Chavez Constitution. Such is the level of irresponsability of this Government. Vice-President Rangel said that it could not be a muzzle law if it was approved democratically. What an interpretation…..it was not approved democratically, it was approved by the slim Chavez majority in the Assembly as it was presented by them, without a single modification. Democracy, ha! AS established in teh Venezuelan Constitution, the second and final discussion will take place in two weeks, after that it becomes law.
The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
