Yaracuy update

Well, tonight I finally got the story. Or I think so anyway.

Lapi's PRIVATE home was the one "inspected" lat night. That is, he had already moved out from the Governor's home to his home, in fact to avoid further violence. But that one followed him.

Second, as a sitting governor (he is such for a few more days until the other guy is sworn in) he cannot be searched, nor his house, unless the search warrant is emitted by the High Court. This privilege is also granted to assemblymen, army generals and admirals. In other words the search warrant emitted by your local judge district was completely illegal and the state prosecutor carrying it should have known better. The military? Well, they offered the same classical excuse offered by all from concentration camps to public office concierges "I was following orders".

This afternoon I drove in front the governors' home and all was quiet, just a big truck doing the moving thing, perhaps half a dozen cops guarding the street, not even a soldier.

But whoever planned that did not get the hoped for result. Lapi became from the unjust "defeated" governor a true martyr and his political career got a new send off! To the point that Gimenez, true to himself, complained that it was a "self inflicted" search warrant for self promotion.... Now you know what I do have in store for the next four years, all his mistakes will be blamed on Lapi. Are those guys EVER able to take responsibility for their actions? Ever?

Anyway, all is quiet now. People are shell-shocked by the recent events, in particular in the San Felipe area that went for Lapi. Here we are pretty much in unison at being scared of the incoming Gimenez administration. Do not forget that Gimenez was the outgoing mayor of La Independencia one of the three boroughs of San Felipe: the sister that he had run as a candidate to replace him did get ONLY 23% of the vote to come in THIRD!!!! In San Felipe WE KNOW that Gimenez is an inefficient _ _ _ (suitable expletive)
