The Chavez administration who cries weekly because supposedly the opposition is planning a coup, stepped repeatedly on the Constitution this week, without the Attroney Genral, the Natoonal Assembly or the Supreme Court saying very much about it. Chvaez, who once said he was the law, is proving he was not joking with his actions:
-He intervened the Municipal police, violating the separation of powers. Moreover, two years ago, the Government ahd tried to do the same thing and asked the Supreme Court to “interpret” what the Constitution says about the autonomy of the Municipal police of Caracas. The Court said only the Mayor of Caracas could name the Head f that police.
-Chvaez had asked the Supreme Court to rule whether the new Electoral Power Law was Constitutional or not. The Court said it was, according to the same Constitution, the President then had no option but to approve it, instead Chavez sent it to the National Assembly. Chavez changed 41 of the articles of this Bill before sending it to the Assembly. He is the law, no question about it.
-That day the National Assembly “approved” the new bill with the presence of 82 Deputies, curiosly this is below quorum. Who cares, we are the law!
The Head of the military said that if you amde a poll 100% of those polled would say they were happy to have the military intervene the police. Ummm, nobody asked me, but doesn’t this sound like Saddam Hussein?
I simply find what is happening in Venzeuela incredible, mor so the silence of all those organizations that have been so critical of the opposition. The only voive has been that of Otto Reich, the Subsecretary for Latin American affairs who said yesterday that Venezuela was becoming a problem and Chavez’ revolution had failed.
