The rule of immorality

March 17, 2004

I am reposting this from last night to include the wonderful cartoon from the cover of today’s Tal Cual of the Inmoral Council members as well as completing the story with facts I learned today



Those three icons of immorality, corruption and inaction that conform the “Moral Council” , the Attorney General/Prosecutor Isaias Rodriguez, the People’s Ombudsman, German Mundarain and the Comptroller Clodovaldo Russian,which up to today has done absolutely nothing during its existence, decided today to open a procedure against the members of the Electoral Hall of the Supreme Court. Obviously they did not do anything against the three Justices of the Constitutional Hall who “only” faked a meeting, wrote a letter based on a non-existing sentence and decision and attempted to overstep their legal powers, violating the rule of law.


These stooges were so diligent that they are not supposed to act unless they were asked by the National Assembly, but showing a dilligence that they have failed to exhibit in the last four years they acted on the ad by the leaders of the Assembly. Amazingly, it was that ad that should be investigated, as public funds were used to pay for an ad expressing the personal opinion of the leaders of the Assembly and not the Assembly itself. In fact, the point is moot, the Moral Council will never be able to get the two thirds majority required to censor the Justices of the Electoral Hall.


Separately, one of them ordered the capture of the opposition Mayor of the Baruta municipality of Caracas. The same prosecutor who liberated the shooters of Puente El Llaguno are now jailing a Mayor for the events of April 2002. Mayor Capriles Radonsky is accused of participating in the attack of the Cuban Embassy when Chavez was briefly ousted in April 2002. Reportedly, it was the Cuban Ambassador that actually called Capriles for help. Will he be a witness for the defense? I doubt it, it will require some integrity that he does not have.


 


Is this a new wave of persecution against opposition leaders as announced yesterday in a local paper?
