Stupid charges by Chavez’ Deputies, stupid questions by me….

March 11, 2003

Deputies of Chavez’ MVR party will ask the attorney General tomorrow to order the arrest of the opposition Mayors of Chacao and the Metropolitan District, as well as the Heads of the respective police forces. The charge? Not obeying the order to capture oil leader Juan Fernandez last Saturday during the opposition rally and helping to hide him because they were present at the rally. They also said that they will press the Attorney General for the liberation of the gunmen caught on video shooting at the peaceful march last April 11th. who are “unjustly” being held. I love justice in the Vth. Republic! They, of course, make no mention of the fact that the “Intelligence” police has been incapable of capturing even one of the union leaders that have outstanding orders for their detention. Or how about the “investigators” that have not even looked for the additional shooters of Altamira Square on Dec. 6th.? Or the ones that are looking into the torture and death of three soldiers and two of their girlfriends after being kidnapped from Altamira Square, but have yet to visit the square? Or the fact that a well-known militant of Chavez’ MVR showed up with an armed group to “rescue” the only survivor from that massacre and when arrested was himslef “rescued” by his wife MVR violent leader Lina Ron? Just some innocent questions on my part….
