I never cease to be amazed at the cynicism of some people in the Government. Yesterday Jorge Rodriguez, who in many statements in public has claimed to be “impartial” and an “arbiter” of the electoral process, yesterday said (Can’t find the link, but I saw it on TV and in one newspaper) that if the Electoral Hall of the Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled the “planas” to be valid, he would go to the Constitutional Hall and appeal the decision. Now, if he really believes he is the arbiter, he should be the arbiter on electoral matters and the Electoral Hall of the Venezuelan Supreme Court should be the arbiter on Electoral law and regulations. Moreover, why is he announcing it ahead of the decision by the Electoral Hall? Is it because he knows he would lose in the first and win in the second?
And today, the legal adviser of the CNE himself recused two members of the Electoral Hall. I have to ask, is this guy autonomous? Did the CNE Board vote on this?
Meanwhile, the People’s Ombudsman in Washington says there are no political prisoners in Venezuela. He also stated categorically that the National Guard had not killed any of the 12 people that died because they did not use weapons other than those that shoot plastic bullets. I imagine he means that the National Guard did not use any weapons like this or like these:
at any time during the repression of the tragic week which began on Feb. 27th. and I must have drawn them, or composed them or something like that.
In fact, all of these pictures are parts of dozens of pictures if not hundrerds taken during those violent days. Moreover, I am told the second picture from the right shows soldiers with a SIG 552 assault weapon and an M-16 rifle, both weapo which are certainly not approved for use in controlling civilain protests.
As predicted here, the desaparecidos whose names are: Omar Arturo Morales (28); Juan José Pérez (27); Juan Ernesto Sánchez (37); Andrés Bastidas Guedes (32) ; José Luis Rodríguez (33); Eduardo José Miranda (30) y Julio César Gómez (34) and Miguel Pacheco (20) were simply ignored by the dishonourable and miserable People’s Ombudsman.
These people have no shame.
