Gaviria said yesterday that it would be very difficult to cheat massively in the reppair process. Who is the comment directed to? The “cloners” or the officials pointing out to the fraud? Your guess is as bad as mine.

Sorry for the late posting today. Lots of work and little internet. As Janette points out in the comments Chavez all but conceded the signatures are there he even makes the argument I’ve been making around my few and sparse chavistas friends. If the opposition has trouble getting 20% of the vote and you have 30% (or 40%, or 80%, whatever), why are you so afraid of the referendum? Let’s have it and be done with it, with those numbers it should be easy to, at least, win the election afterwards. The ridiculous answer that the chavistas are “institutionalist” is, well, ridiculous.

What a gas!

May 31, 2004

Early in the afternoon I started hearing the rumors about lack of gasoline in the city. Whether the rumors created the problem or there is another problem, PDVSA assurances that things will normalize by tomorrow are not getting any undeserved trust. Capriles Radonski will continue in jail, a clear political prisoner, since his appeal was turned down today. These may be just smoke screens to waste a day in the reparo process. It seems even Gaviria and Carter are worried now.

Not much to say today, but I leave you with a question for those in the know: What happens if you call for the people to defend a revolution and nobody shows up? Leave your comments, I, again, have work to do.
