Democratic Convenience…..

April 15, 2003

I love the spasmodic democracy of the Chavez administration. After finally reaching an agreement in the negotition table, Vice-President Rangel said today tha before they can sign it they have to consult with the forces that bach Chavez’ Government. Well, for one, there are no “forces’ that back Chavez they have become mostly weaknesses like the fact that the only parties left backing Chavez from the once mighty Polo Patriotico are PPT, which got all of less than 2% in the last election and the Communist party with less than 1%. Apparently the agreement includes November 19th. as the last possible date for holding the recall referendum, which we understand Chavez opposes as he wants no deadline on a date. This appears to be the origin of this new “democratic spirit” in the part of the Government. Not a single member of Chavez’ MVR has ever been elected to a party position by the base, they have all been appointed by the boss himself. So much for democary.
