Chavez ignores his own Constitution

May 24, 2006

Chavez seems to have forgotten Art.67 of the Venezuelan
Constitution
written by a Constituent Assembly that he ran and controlled:


Artículo 67.
Todos los ciudadanos y ciudadanas tienen el derecho de
asociarse con fines políticos, mediante métodos democráticos de organización,
funcionamiento y dirección. Sus organismos de dirección y sus candidatos o
candidatas a cargos de elección popular serán seleccionados o seleccionadas en elecciones
internas con la participación de sus integrantes.

Loosely
Translated”

“All of the citizens have the right to associate themselves for political
goals, using democrataic methods of organization, functioning and direction. The
organsims of direction and their candidates to popular elections will
be selected using internal elections with the participation of its
members.”

Given this how
can Chavez criticize
Sumate saying: “Why is Sumate calling for
primaries?…… the empire is pressuring for primaries…they want to become a
parallel Electoral Board, calling for primaries”

Well Hugo, its your law, your Constitution, that is what iternal elections means, just because you don’t follow it,
does not mean others should not or is an order of the Evil Empire. So, you
better get your story straight, read your little blue book again, maybe you may find it. It’s called democracy, but I know you don’t quite understand that concept yet.
