In one of the most cynical and outrageous statements made by any Chavista recently, MVR Deputy Raul Este said yesterday that now the process of “a revolution within the revolution will begin”. According to Este, after the victory of the “No” on August 15th. those that are corrupt will leave the Government. Thus, for the Deputy, corrupt votes are good and only after the 15th will they get rid of those people. Well, I am sure that besides the cynical nature of the statement, this is nothing more than another empty campaign promise by the most corrupt government in the country’s history.
In another cynical statement, Venezuela’s Ambassador to the US Bernardo Alvarez said today that he “guaranteed” the voting of Venezuelans in the US. He failed to say that proof of residence is being requested and that 95% of those that registered do not appear in the Electoral Registry. To close the Ambassador said that “Voting abroad is not for tourists”, simply another perverse interpretation of the law. Venezuelan legislation guarantees the right to vote for Venezuelans abroad irrespective of their status in the country where they live. This is the second “innovation” by the brilliant representatives of the Venezuelan Foreign Service; the Minister had said last week that illegals could not vote either because the country could not promote violating the laws of other countries. He said nothing of violating the laws of Venezuela, but maybe that is irrelevant to him…or them.
