Prophecies for 2005 by Laureano Marquez

January 14, 2005

Humorist Laureano Marquez joins the astrologers and prophets that I criticized and complained about a month ago, with his own predictions for 2005 in today’s front page of Tal Cual. I will not bore you with the full article, it has many nuances that may be hard for a foreigner to fully understand, but here are some good ones that inject a note of humor into our complex situation:


-In February, the CNE voids the election won by Carlos Andres Perez in 1988, with which it is solved that the “gocho” was never President for a second period and thus, Chavez never attempted a coup against him, which goes to show that there was never a military coup in 1992, solving in this way one of the great dilemmas of our history: That a coup plotter accuses of coup plotting other coup plotters or said in our own creole way: “Cachicamo diciendole a morrocoy conchuo” which translated means “Armadillo calling a turtle thick skinned”


 


-Changes in the Cabinet in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.


 


-At the next Iberoamerican summit a large Venezuelan delegation of more than five hundred people will sign a document rejecting summits.


 


-Alo President will beat its won record in a program in which Chavez interviews himself.


 


-Around November, the opposition will threaten with reorganizing itself which will raise lots of objections from the citizens that are against the Government who consider that, without an organized opposition, the fight against the Government is gong much better.
