The Venezuelan Government called the New York Times “one of the mediatic arms of George Bush’s Government” and called its Editorial “Mr. Chavez’ Power Grab” on the Chavez Government part of “an attack against democratic Governments, who in their feeling, attempts against its hegemonic interests”.
In the opinion of Minister William Lara, the Editorial which criticized the Constitutional reforms because they “undermine Venezuelan democracy”, are evidence that the attacks by that newspaper against the Chavez Government imply that the State Department is moving its pieces to attempt against Venezuela’s democracy.
Lara went even further saying this editorial was part of the US’s policy of getting involved in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
There you have it, the almighty NYT may be violating Venezuela’s laws. What next? Blocking it’s IP? Banning its reporter from the country? Fining the paper? Forcing it to register?
I think that at least Simon should avoid visiting any of the country’s creeks…you never know…
(Has Lara seen the picture above? They guy that took it should be jailed, no? We should have a caption contest, my choice :”The people’s revenge (Thanks M.))
