Another example of discrimination in the pretty revolution

May 3, 2005

In today’s Tal Cual, page 3, there is a copy of a memo (shown above)
of the Head of the Nueva Esparta Fondo Unico Social (FUS) to the Head
of cooperatives in that state, saying that they have had problems with
one of the cooperatives chosen by that fund to sew some 49,000 pants
for school children. The main problem? That the cooperative was
rejected from a program to make uniforms because they were not “really
committed to the revolutionary process” which led the head of that
cooperative to complain and get mad. Imagine! But it gets even more
interesting:

“This attitude made us curious, leading us to
verify the status of the signatures of the main representatatives of
COPROTENE proving to our extreme surprise, that both her as well as her
husband (who is not part of the cooperative) and Mr. Julio Villegas
(treasurer of the cooperative) had signed against the President of the
Republic”

Not happy with this, amazingly including even checking the relatives of the people who run the coopertaive, the letter closes:

“In
conclusion, you will understand the shamelessness, the nerve, the
insolence, that Mr Villegas showed, as well as Mrs. Martinez, which
will allow you to understand why COPROTENE was not included in this new
program, since the uniform program depends strictly from the Presidency
and if they signed against the President, they can’t now to obtain a
benefit from a program that they want to help eliminate via their
signatures”

“Thus,
with a resounding “NO” I expressly manifest our denial that COPOTENE
participate in the uniform program and any cooperative or company that
manifested its desire to get rid of the Maximum Leader of the
Bolivarian Revolution, our President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias”

The pretty revolution indeed!
