MariPili Hernandez is a former TV announcer, Chavez supporter/adulator and was a Vice-Minister of Foreign Relations. She writes a weekly column in El Nacional where she sucks up to Chavez and treis to tell us how wonderful everything is under the revolution. Her latest was too much for Gustavo Coronel , who wrote this memo to her. It speaks for itself.
Memo
to Mrs. Maripili
Gustavo Coronel.
Mrs.
Maripili:
You just
wrote the following: “I certainly am one of those who think that there is no
Venezuelan with a clearer vision of what a strategic national plan should be
than our current president”. This statement provoked such indignation in me
that I have decided to send you this brief memo. What you wrote would have
merely been one more example of the abject adulation that you, the paid hands
of the regime, lavish on Chavez. But you said this at a very unfortunate time,
when the colorless Minister of Infrastructure is saying that the main bridge
that connects Caracas
with the world (Port and airport) is falling down and that the highway will
have to be closed indefinitely.
What this
means, in brutally simple terms, is that Venezuela
is abruptly being thrown back to the early XX century, when the only way to get
from Caracas to
the sea was a narrow and winding road built by Dictator Juan Vicente Gomez.
This trip was an adventure, taking long hours. Today, the adventure will be
magnified by the fact that the road is in poor conditions and is now part of a
huge marginal village, full of criminals who assault travelers who have the
misfortune of having a flat tire or falling behind a slow truck. The police as
defender of the people, as you well know, Mrs. Maripili, has ceased to exist in
Venezuela.
What a
poor timing you showed in writing your stupid statement. What f… vision can
Chavez have? Forgive me for the f.. Word, but I am sure that is often used
among your friends. What f… strategic vision can this man have? Tell me if a
person who does the following things can have “a national strategic vision”:
(1), gives away $1.2 billion per year of Venezuelan money to Fidel Castro; (2),
buys $1 billion in Argentinean bonds at a price above the market; (3), promises
a subsidy of $700 million per year to the Caribbean countries; (4), Promises
Paraguay to build them a $700 million refinery; (5), Donates $30 million to Evo
Morales on his recent visit to Venezuela, to be used at his discretion; (6),
gives $40 million in petroleum subsidies to the “poor” of New York City, Boston
and Chicago whose average income is ten times greater than our Venezuelan poor
who lack all essentials; (7), buys for his use a $70 million airbus without
proper budgetary appropriations, when Venezuelan roads are rotting away; (8),
acquires $6 billion in arms from Russia and Spain when the country is falling
to pieces; (9), promises Jamaica $300 million for a road when ours are a pile
of shit; (10), builds houses for Cubans when thousands of Venezuelan families
lack a roof over their heads; (11), tolerates the existence of 200,000
abandoned children in our cities and thousands of Indian mothers begging in the
streets; 12) finances those so-called Youth Festivals and Popular Congresses,
simple excuses for drug consumption and ideological incest, with money that
should be used to alleviate hunger and ignorance in our country.
What
vision of a national strategic plan can possess someone who surrounds himself
with such mediocre collaborators? How can a strategic national plan be
developed with people like Pedro Carreno, Lina Ron, Luis Acosta Carlez, Nicolas
Maduro, Isaías Rodríguez, Jorge Rodríguez, Jose Vicente Ramgel, Dario Vivas,
Cilia Flores, William Farinas, William Izarra, etc etc…? A national strategic
plan has to be put together as the result of an intense civic dialogue, has to
be made known by the citizens of the country, has to be executed by competent
and honest people, must be subject to accountability. Tell me, what are the
similarities between such a plan and the disaster you have installed in our
country?
I would
challenge any reasonably coherent member of the regime to a public debate on
Chavez’s “strategic national plan”, if such a coherent person could be found. I
discard challenging Chavez because he is incapable of civilized debate. He is
already an autocrat who will not dialog nor accept dissidence. His mind is full
of dreams of grandeur, of aspirations to become a new Tupac Àmaru, helped along
with our money, which is badly needed for tasks of real national development.
He does not have the time or the inclination to dialog on a democratic basis.
Your boss,
Mrs. Maripili, does not have the foggiest idea of what a national strategic
plan is or should be. When he is ousted, he should be condemned to work, with
pick and shovel, in the construction of the new highway from Caracas to the international airport and
port. Maybe he will be able to do that job although, every day that goes by, I
have more doubts.
