Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
Hearing the president of the CNE it is impossible not to be suspicious. Every single thing he says is against the opposition he has said things like: “People going to ratify their signatures with forged ID documents” Not retire their signatures, Not presumably forged. Every case he denounces is against the opposition. Knowing of over 600 cases of irregularities against the opposition, one can’t help it but think the worst from this asshole.

I just heard Ramos Allup from Acción Democratica (live, not on TV) saying that a lot more people than thought had retired their signatures (that is had gone to the centers to say that they didn’t sign), hence, the numbers may not add up. He said textually: “It is better not to have high hopes.” This may be a trick to get more people to ratify their signatures, but his face didn’t show that.

The president of the Electoral Council has instructed its functionaries to carefully check the ID documents of the ratifiers. Will they try to invalidate the process through this ugly trick? Or as some people are claiming the numbers are close and they need this sort of treachery? My numbers say that yesterday there were about 525 thousand ratified and about 64 thousand retired. It should be easy to get to 700 thousand signatures and less than a 100 thousand retired. That still gives a decent margin, so the tricks must be beginning.

Third day of reparos, I’ll go out in a while to check a few centers live. But the information I have indicates whatever is gotten today will just be a safety-margin. The needed ratified signatures in order to, finally, activate the recall seem to be in the hands of the Electoral Coouncil. *gulp* The opposition has to ask: What will they come up with next? On the other hand the obvious failure of the oficialismo to even make a dent in this process is a nice sign of how isolated government officials are. They are isolated and weak, but treacherous and mean.
