As usual Teodoro Petkoff uses common sense to compare ridiculous situations in today‘s Tal Cual Editorial.
On the sauces for the male and the female turkey by Teodoro Petkoff
(In Spanish, there is a saying: “Lo que es bueno para el pavo es bueno para la pava”, what is good for the male turkey is good for the female one, meaning that they are so similar that you have to treat them the same)
They pretend to bring the Sumate people to trial under the accusation that they received funds from a US foundation. However, Chavez who received a juicy contribution from a powerful Spanish bank (BBVA)-which was more than proven in Spanish courts-was never asked to account for that crime, which is a true crime, according to our legislation. Two weights, two measures? On the other hand, while against Sumate the worst epithets are used, the President transforms himself into a Versailles gentleman when he addresses his “fellow countrymen” from the Fuerzas Bolivarianas de Liberacion (FBL, a guerrilla group that Chavez last Sunday acknowledged for the first time it existed). Towards a bunch of guys that are frankly outlaws (Chavez himself recriminates that they use weapons of war and reminds them that this is the exclusive right of the Armed Forces) he cordially and with endearment asks that they quit what they are doing, that they give up their weapons and come and plant coffee-which implies, obviously, that those crimes will have imp unity. Here we have a bunch of military in jail, accused of rebellion, there we have a bunch of supposed guerillas, in concrete rebellion but for them the language is one of buddies. I will bet the Prosecutors office will never even find out about it.
