The brilliant President of the Land Institute (INTI) proposed today that the Minsitry of Defense allow people in the military reserve to be armed with guns in order to ”protect rural workers and avoid the occurrence of any abuse or incident” due to the decrees issued by the Government.
As far as I understand the only “incidents” so far have been between pro-Chavez groups arguing who will keep the intervened lands. But maybe Mr. Otaiza thinks that the problems of the country can be solved by having a shootout between sides. This must be the most idiotic ides I have heard yet, but it shows the screwed up militaristic frame of mind of Mr. Otaiza and some of his followers. The solution to incidents can not be to arm thousands of reservists all over these areas.
