Chavismo paratroopers

So today about 300 hundred students tried to go to the CNE, Venezuelan electoral board, a.k.a Electoral Ministry, to present complaints and requests on the electoral abuse of the regime. Not that anyone was expecting Chavez election minister Tibisay Lucena to comply, but it would have been nice for a change that she dispatched a secretary to receive the letter. Or at least earlier than what she eventually did.


Sure enough the march was intercepted. But not by the police or the Nazional Guard, by Tupamaros who are no better than storm troopers.  The march did not make it to the CNE. At this time 4 injuries are reported.

It is not idle to note that PSUV representatives NEVER have any trouble to reach the CNE offices whereas for opposition representatives it must be done discretely, off peak hours, preferably through back doors, if received at all. Tibisay Lucena gets obfuscated when State Department officials suggest that the CNE could act with more transparency. The regime went as far as suspending "talks" because Jacobson words were considered an interference. Worry not, Venezuela oil keeps flowing uninterrupted to the US since it is the last client left that pays in hard cash, and on time. They may be commies but they like greenbacks.

Of course, in Venezuela Tibisay is not obfuscated anymore, so used is she to give us the finger, or send paratroopers to quell native's unrest.

    It seems to me that the fact this entry has not provoked any response is that we have become jaded about are "normality". Of course ... what could we have expected, bouquets of roses? Such is life under the Regime.

    1. And yet it got more unique visitors than posts with comments....

      The thing is that I have learned long ago that some posts are complete or definitive enough not to elicit comments.

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.
