It is indeed a world of contrasts when Hugo Chavez can not go vote in the popular neighborhood of “23 de Enero” right next to the Presidential Palace and where he is supposed to have his most hard core popularity, due to security reasons, but President Bush can go and have Thanksgiving dinner in Iraq.

A world of contrasts
November 28, 2003The blatant intimidation by the Government
November 28, 2003Was not going to post until tomorrow, but can not resist. The Minister of Labor comes out saying that the private sector is pressuring workers into voting tomorrow. Of course, no specifics, just rumor and innuendo. So I ask her: Did you hear the President last night intimidating public workers, retired workers and Government contractors? As if this were not enough Ms. Iglesias, how about this sign by Partido PCP, which is nothing but PDVSA’s Department of “Prevention y Control de Perdidas”, in charge of security at the company, it even has the PDVSA logo next to it. Will you do something about this? This is proof, not your groundless innunendo. The sign says: Your vote is secret, your signature isn’t.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate pro-Chavez CNE Director Jorge Rodriguez for calling for the President not to violate the regulations like he did in that same speech that Minister Iglesias appears not to have heard.
