The Primero Justicia Party which holds a number of seats in the national assembly and has a number of important mayors in Caracas, announced this afternoon that their party will not change regional elections for the recall referendum and if there is no referendum, they will withdraw all of their candidacies to the regional elections.
The unanimous decision was announced when the leaders of that party registered the candidacy of fugitive Mayor Henrique Capriles. Capriles is in hiding since the Prosecutors have not allowed his lawyers to se what he is being charged with in his arrest warrant. Primero Justicia deputy Julio Borges said that the CNE and the Supreme Court were violating the rights of 3.4 million Venezuelans with technicalities and subterfuges which gave no guarantees that the law would be respected in the regional elections by either instance. First he said, people had to choose between impunity or justice, between fear and freedom and between chaos and peace.
Separately Primero Justicia deputy Gerardo Blyde said that the decision by the Constitutional hall of the Supreme Court is the first sentence in the country’s new dictatorships the Hall eliminated rights that people never thought they would lose. Blyde, a constitutional expert said that the decision by the highest Court modifies the Constitution with the only objective of avoiding the recall referendum. Blyde said that the principle of presumption of innocence was eliminated with this jurisprudence by the Constitutional hall; he said the electoral hall is there to resolve Electoral matters but the Court says it is not and acted on it. Finally Blyde said that there is also a principle that was violated, that when the law is clear, the interpreter can not go against the clarity of the law. He said the Government wants to reach August without a recall referendum.
