As if today’s charade was not sufficient, the pro-Chavez members of the National Assembly said that today’s rejection of the minutes of last week’s session when the Assembly’s bylaws were modified was a tie. A new session will take place on Thursday where they will try to approve them again after two defeats today. Once again this Government and its partisans show they are not democrats and have a complete disregard for the law. The word fascism comes to mind when one sees the behavior of the President of the National Assembly today. The opposition says the rules are quite clear and this represents the most significant defeat of Chavez’ supporters in the National Assembly. Former Chavez supporters under the party “Podemos” ratified at the end of the session today that they will not vote in favor of illegality and running over the rules and will continue voting against the legality of last week’s session. Note that when Chavez first won the Assembly he had a majority of 64% of the Assembly which he has now lost, mostly through confrontation with his former allies.
