Back in San Felipe

I was on the road today driving back from Caracas. Somewhere between Maracay and Valencia I learned that Capriles Radonsky, Baruta's mayor was arrested when he presented himself to the authorities for indictment. The prosecutor lamely alleged that he was at "high risk of fleeing the country". Which he would have done long ago if it were the mayor's intentions. The reason why the prosecutor, the do it all Danilo Anderson, said so was of course to try to link the arrest reasons to the developments of last Sunday, to try to make people think that Capriles Radonsky was covering the paramilitary and thus planning to flee the country once busted.

I will write later as I get more information.
