I have been mentioning for days that all the information I could gather indicated that the number of people who had died from the floods exceeded by far the sixty some number that has been officially announced by the Government via its spokesman the Minister of the Interior. However the media had chosen not to say anything for fear of having the Government accuse them of violating the media law, better known as the gag or muzzle law.
Today the silence was broken by the media paying attention to the statements made by the Arch-Bishop of Coro Roberto Luckert who said that the number of dead people was “many more” than the 62 officially reported.
“WE have information that things were worse than what the Government wants to make it look” added the Arch Bishop. He said that over one hundred people had lost their life in Santa Cruz de Mora alone when a river overflowed and filled a bus terminal full of passengers.
The Catholic priest said the Chavze Government was making a political campaign out of the tragedy, saying that he does not understand why the Government wants to hide the information about the dead and that the Government is giving away bags off food with the logo of Chavze’ part MVR.
“You don’t do politics with the misery and pain of others” said the Arch Bishop.
This is the same version of the facts I have been hearing for the last few days and posted about only after checking my facts with two of Caracas best known journalists.
