Ramos Allup of AD trashed, TRASHED by the US embassy in Caracas

In what is going to be one of the most interesting Wikileaks on Venezuela El Pais of Spain publishes  a devastating analysis of US cables on AD leader Ramos Allup, as being basically one of the main reasons why the Venezuelan opposition does not go anywhere fast ....  If you cannot read Spanish, you have the MUST READ worst cable in English here and an excerpt below:


Accion Democratica (AD), Venezuela's largest
opposition party, is going nowhere fast. Its leader,
secretary general Henry Ramos Allup, is unimaginative,

SIPDIS
overconfident, and even repellent. Rather than seeking unity
among the opposition, Ramos Allup insults other party
officials. Rather than formulate a platform, AD officials
plead for help from the international community, whose
representatives Ramos Alup also disrespects. Because AD is
an extremelycentralized party even by Venezuelan standards,
fficials with alternate views rarely have a voice.

  1. Not at all surprising but quite pertinent :

    "while a credible opposition candidate would certainly make the
    presidential election more believable, Chavez does not
    technically need the opposition to hold an election. Should
    he lack real opponents, Chavez would most likely invent his
    own."

    I am starting to suspect that Chavez may already have fallen by the wayside if there hadn't been an official opposition.

    That's the declassification date, not a typo.

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.
