There are protesters still out in the streets, but the numbers are much smaller than yesterday. Curiously, there are fewer people in the streets at the same time. My guess is that after the traffic mess yesterday people are waiting to see what is hppaening before they go out at all. Carlos Melo, a leader of the Coordinadora Democratica has been detained and people are trying to find out where he is.
Today will be a very important day. The Electoral Board has to find a legal and simple solution to the 1.3 million signatures for the recall referendum petition that are under observation. I still believe that it is obvious: Approve them and give people five days to say they did not sign and should not be on the list. It is so simple. It is fair. It does not place the burden of proof on those that already signed. If there was the massive fraud that the Electoral Board says, we should see huge lines of people coming to ask to have their named removed. If not, we will have the recall referendum before June.
Going to work now, will update through the comments on this post until the afternoon.
The alternative is not very pretty…
