And then there is the Document issued by the Coordinadora Democratica on the communiques of the Attorney General/Prosecutor claiming he will be transparent and impartial in investigating the violence of the last few days:
Democratic Coordinator rejects offer of “supposed objectivity and impartiality” of MVR activist Isaias Rodriguez
The current state of massive violations of human rights in our country on the part of the repressive regimen of Hugo Chavez has brought out cynicism and irresponsibility as the most despicable and outrageous features of this regime.
Cynicism and irresponsibility are the elements that characterize the public conduct of MVR leader, ex-Vice-President and astonishing Attorney General/Prosecutor (Fiscal), Julian Isaias Rodríguez, who in the last few days has been as inefficient as always in the defense of legality and the constitutional rights of the citizens. But on top of that, he has bothered to issue two successive press releases in which he offers once again to the country “total impartiality, objectivity and transparency” in advancing the investigations initiated with respect to the acts of violence which took place on February 27th. in Caracas and other cities.
It would be hard to offer the country impartiality, objectivity and transparency in the investigation of the eleven deaths of the last few days in the hands of the National Guard by a Fiscal that has yet to say anything about the nineteen people assassinated on April 11th. 2002 by Government-sponsored gunmen, in full daylight and in the presence of thousands of witnesses.
It would be hard to offer the country impartiality, objectivity and transparency by a Fiscal that still maintains silence over the culpability of the 29 injured by bullets that Venezuelan democratic society suffered when we had the audacity to go on November 4th 2002 to hand over the signatures that backed the request for a consultative referendum.
It can not offer now transparency, objectivity and impartiality a Fiscal who has systematically obstructed all of the charges about human rights violations and about corruption, denying the administration of justice and boycotting the development of the institutions contemplated in the 1999 Constitution.
It does not even deserve the benefit of the doubt a Fiscal that pursues honest employees of the office that he maintains sequestered and that concentrates the cases that directly affect the government in the hands of a handful of subordinate prosecutors, all identified with the government.
It deserves the most active rejection to the moral conscience of the country, a Fiscal that has the bad faith to assign none other that the pro-Government activist Danilo Anderson, to pursue the case of Yormi Suarez, the young Venezuelan, 22 years old, cruelly assassinated by the National Guard on Ave. Luis Roche of Altamira.
If due to a strange crisis of conscience, citizen Isaias Rodríguez were willing at this stage to have an act of decency, the only thing he could do is to resign from his position and allow a different person to take over, a citizen on whom those promises of transparency, impartiality and objectivity could be credible.
But since we know that such a gesture of decency is beyond the possibilities of someone as compromised with corruption and violence as Isaias Rodriguez, we warn him of the following: in Venezuela there will be peace, there will be reconciliation, there will reunification, and the political sector that is expressed in the Government will have a space in the Venezuela of the future that will be respected, that space which they manage to maintain with the remaining votes they may have. But there will be no impunity. Individuals like Isaias Rodriguez, whose hands are stained with blood because they are responsible through action or inaction of a lot of pain, a lot of suffering and many deaths. They will have to respond in front of the Law, in front of the people and in front of history for their crimes.
It is not with cynical communiqués that Isaias Rodriguez will be able to elude his responsibilities. After all, they involve the delicate topic of human rights, and do not prescribe and are as well personal in nature.
And this message is good for all of those in the Government’s hierarchy, both civilian and military. Those that still have time to rectify, do it. For Isaias Rodríguez, that time has already been used up.
