The immoral revolution strikes again

July 12, 2005

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this piece of news in today’s El Universal:.
The Minister of the Interior and Justice announced today with a very straight
face, that “all of those officers that have been involved in
abuses and disrespect of human rights will be pensioned off”.

Remarkable, no? Eighteen thousand oil workers than went on strike two
and half years ago, using a right guaranteed by the 2000 Constitution,
were denied pensions, severance pay, their voluntary pension funds were
confiscated and their medical benefits were withdrawn. But criminal
police
officers who committed abuses and disrespect of Human Rights of
Venezuelan citizens, a violation of the same Constitution, will be
graciously and generously pensioned off. The immoral revolution strikes
again!
