Change of heart or order from above?

October 19, 2007
Interesting, the Shameless Attorney
General/Prosecutor Isaias Rodriguez, who had earlier backed the
suspension of due process and the elimination of the right of
information, changes his mind and comes back saying now that he
disagrees with it. Rodriguez now says that due process is an absolute
right, which cannot be restricted and corrects all of the claims by the
ignorant Deputies who were saying the right of information could be
eliminated in the 1961 Constitution.
 
I mean, Mr. Rodriguez has gone from expressing satisfaction at the proposed changes two days ago, to exactly the opposite tonight.
 
What gives?
 
Some
of you may think Government officials in Venezuela have the
intellectual and judicial consistency of Tapioca, which is true…
 
Or that Rodriguez in the last days as Prosecutor, thought about it and changed his mind, which is possible but unlikely…
 
Or that he changed his mind. Is there any brain there to do that?
 
No, this is an order from somewhere way up above. All the way to the top,  to
the autocrat. By tomorrow, other Chavistas will be siding with the
prosecutor. They will use the words “rights”, the “people”, “democracy”
and the like. All of the things that have not been said, but should
have been said, since the now infamous proposal to change article 337
of the Constitution.
 
Why?
 
Who
knows? Either a poll says that this is not popular or international
reaction ahs been negative or this clouds the possibility of the easy
approval the Government wanted. In any case, there has been a change of
heart and the Prosecutor, this sad character, this overly dependent
Head of an independent power was charged with announcing the change of
heart. \u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>Of course, nothing is said about the other illegalities and violations of the Constitution. They follow orders, not morals, ethics or principles.\u003c/div\>\u003c/div\>”,0]

Of
course, nothing is said about the other illegalities and violations of
the Constitution. They follow orders, not morals, ethics or principles.
