Today Chavez had a remarkable day:
–He celebrated with a military parade the 15th, year Anniversary of
his 1992 bloody coup, proving once again that he is no democrat.
–He said that Venezuela does not have a border with Colombia but with the FARC
–He stated that those in the hands of the FARC are prisoners of war,
proving once again that he supports the guerrilla group in his fight
with the democratically elected Government of Colombia
–Finally, he approved a decree which is not clearly unconstitutional,
but is almost a carbon copy of one of those rejected by the voters in
December as a change of the Constitution. The decree basically allows
the Government to take over any facility, plant or business in the
food sector without “mediation of any formality”. Once again, Chavez
shows he does not respect what the people clearly said on December in
rejecting his proposals and his own Constitution which clearly
establishes how and when the Government may expropriate private
property.
–By the way, it has been two months and we are still waiting for the
third bulletin of the Electoral Board
Chavez is getting nuttier by the day and is setting up a collision
course with either Colombia or internally as his popularity plummets
and he desperately tries to blame others for the mess he created in
the Venezuelan economy.
God help us!
