I have never been a big fan of Cecilia Sosa, the former member of the Venezuelan Supreme Court; I think she stretched the Constitution too far as a member of that Court. But you have to admire her statements as she left the Prosecutor’s office after being charged with writing the infamous decree by Carmona “The Brief” in April 2002 and going to the Presidential Palace on April 12th. 2002.
Among other things Sosa said:
“If there is someone that has said that went to Miraflores that day, it is me…I went to Miraflores to do what Chavez’ Ministers did not do. Not even the Justices of the Supreme Court did it that day, because even Ministers dyed their hair so that they would not be recognized and on the other hand, it was perfectly clear that I was absolutely against Carmona becoming President, for reasons that I told him in his face, I did no send the message with anyone, I went like a any citizen to defend institutionality.
Separately (Can’t find the link) Sosa said that the Prosecutor should bring charges against the former Chief of Staff Lucas Rincon and all the members of the military high command, since it was them that appeared on TV and said Chavez had resigned, creating all of the events that followed that day.
