The truth about Chavez "victory"

Weill goes to the jugular after all the pantomimes of Chavez yesterday dodging questions, insulting journalists, explaining why he won, etc, etc....  The fact of the matter is that he did not show up Sunday night at his Miraflores Balcony to celebrate with "el pueblo".  First time ever he fails to do that.  There was no victory, there was no pueblo under the balcony....

  1. Daniel, as I am an extrangero, can you point me to where it says in the constitution of Venezuela that they should have proportional representation in the AN?

    Khyber, hope this helps.
    (English translation)

    TITLE V
    ORGANIZATION OF NATIONAL PUBLIC AUTHORITY
    Chapter 1
    National Legislative Power
    Section One: General Provisions
    Article 186: The National Assembly shall consist of Deputies* elected* in each of the
    federal entities by universal, direct, personalized and secret ballot with proportional
    representation, using a constituency base of 1.1 % of the total population of the country.
    Each federal organ shall also elect three additional deputies*. The native peoples of the
    Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela shall elect three deputies* in accordance with the
    provisions established under election law, respecting the traditions and customs thereof.
    Each deputy* shall have an alternate* elected* by the same process.

    The constitution in Venezuela may as well not exist.

Comments policy:

1) Comments are moderated except for the first day of the post publication where they will appear immediately. If you comment after the first day it may take up to a day or two for your note to appear.

2) Your post will appear if you follow the following rules. If you wrote in the open window period, I will be ruthless in erasing any comment that do not follow these rules, as well as those who replied to that off rule comment.

3)COMMENT RULES:
Do not be repetitive.
Do not bring grudges and fights from other blogs here (this is the strictest rule).
This is an anti Chavez blog, with 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds over fourteen years and thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post, in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. Though I am not holding my breath.
Of course insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.
