Chavez on democracy and his movements real plans

October 3, 2005

Hugo Chavez’ concept of “democracy” during yesterday’s Alo Presidente:

“Tascon, no compadre, that is not the way to go. You are part of a
revolutionary process. There is a leader who is Hugo Chavez, there is
cohesion, unity”

What did Tascon say?

That those that had two apartments would have to give one to someone that does not have one.

According to Chavez: “This does not reflect the criteria that I
am managing
as leader of the process…nobody can make decisions on
their own, it has to do with the political moment that we are
managing
…We can not get carried away, please calm down, particularly
these days
that we are in the middle of an electoral campaign.”

Get it? First this is not a democracy, this is an autocracy with Hugo
Chavez as its leader. Second, this is not the time to reveal what they
plan to do, they can do it later. But it is the autocrat that is the
manager of the timing, not anyone else. Calm down for now, later they
will do what they plan to do, but not now, they have to win the
election first, without telling the people what their plans are. If they
did, they may lose, so please be quiet and be obedient of the autocrat says.

Some democracy, no? Can it be clearer than this?
