For a year we have been hearing that Hugo Cahvez never wanted to resign, that he almost did so under duress. That he never signed anything. That he was kidnapped by some military officers. Well, today the Attorney General, former Chavez’ Vice-President Isaias Rodriguez, provided a “new” version. Surprisingly, the Attorney General says that Chavez wanted to resign but four Generals opposed it. According to Rodriguez, Chavez imposed his conditions on his resignation but the four Generals did not approve. Now this revised version of history is quite different from the “coup” that the world has been convinced took place. In fact, it disagrees with the version provided by Chavez himself today. If four Generals opposed his resigantion, then these Generals were the “anti-coup”. One should also ask: Why was Chavez ready to resign? Guilt? Given that there is testimony of how Chavez had planned to defend himslef using the bolivarians cricles, this points out once again towards a central role by Chavez himself in the shootings that took place a year ago.
Note: Yes, one could consider what Pedro Cramona did the next a day a coup, it did violate the Constitution, but it is as much of a coup as Chavez’ resigantion was one. Under the law, he left the Presidency and resigned.
