Many streets in Caracas are closed. I am going to try to get to work right now. In the worst case, I will walk, it is not that far away. Francisco has a good article in Caracas Chronicles as to how we got here and where we are. Straight to the point. Hopefully, the CNE Directors will consider a LEGAL mechanism tonight for checking the signatures. When statistical sampling is called “unfair” by the Vice-President you know this is just tricks and cheating. Those that defend what is going on in the comments below have never seen their basic rights as threatened as ours are today. The repression last Friday was uncalled for. So was the military deployment all weekend. the attacks on motorcycles agaisnt protesters are extremely offensive and repressive and the use of tear gas is agaisnt the Constitution.
Chavez got to power promising respect for human rights, among one thousand unfullfilled promises. Riots and demonstrations in Caracas in the ten years before Chavez got to power were met with a water truck. Incredible to think about it. Two years ago in Quebec at the Summit of the Americas, Chavez said that they should have let some demonstrators forward, to talk to them, see what their protest is about. On Friday, he did xcatly the opposite against his own people. That is what Hugo Chavez is all about, empty words. He only cares about the survival of Hugo Chavez. In the same summit he refused to sign the final document because it talked about representative democracy and not participatory democracy. Millions of Venezuelans are asking for that, now he is blind, we are outlaws. We know who the oulaws are and where they are.
