I barely listened to Ramon Guillermo Aveledo and the next day the interventions of Capriles and Ramos Allup.<br />I have to say that i hate Allup because he represents he dinosaurs of the old poltics that somehow were responsible for Chavez ascent. But to listen to him saying to Cabello to stay easy because this was not the Assembly and that he was not a subordinate was priceless Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163780284153288962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-58843886516758540212014-04-12T19:53:27.811+02:002014-04-12T19:53:27.811+02:00After watching the whole debate last night, it is ...After watching the whole debate last night, it is obvious (to me) that the MUD and the Government are far apart to reach any kind of consensus to resolve the big problems confronting Venezuela. On one the hand (MUD) talks about the constitution , laws and democracy. The other (Gov.) defends their form of government,15 years of disaster, their actions, the destruction of a once prosperous country and its ideology.It is impossible to strike an agreement when there is no common ground or the will for things to change. <br /><br />You hear the discourse of the President and Gov. representatives portraying a country that does not exist. Despite a civil war outside of the Palace of Miraflores . It is mind bogging to hear them talk about a prosperous and happy revolution in Venezuela. Very Cynical posture.<br />No respect for the law, no separation of powers, no freedom of press, no press, no food, repression, corrupt officials, Cuba's intro-mission on the Venezuela affairs, students brutal treatment, torture, political prisoners are just a few facts they chose to ignore.<br /><br />For me, the positive side of this first meeting is that the MUD was able to talk openly to the country and the gov. officials about the current problems and the crisis the Gov. is confronting today. <br /><br />Hopefully the will continue to meet and find some common ground that allows for a transition to a better Venezuela for all citizens. Very difficult objective considering the<br />event of last night.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869915648282114740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-49184056947067317282014-04-12T18:10:02.015+02:002014-04-12T18:10:02.015+02:00In war, there comes a time when the status quo is ...In war, there comes a time when the status quo is not acceptable for either side. The protests, guarimbas, and the resulting international pressure have pushed the government to the point of being forced to do something to break the deadlock. Even they understood that this "dialogue" was risky for them. However, I don't think they understood how risky it was to give the opposition a voice and a forum. I watched the whole thing, and it was a clear win for the Opposition. The Chavistas could do nothing better than repeat their tired old slogans and insults, whereas, the Opposition was able to say "en cadena" things that have been stifled for a long time. The Chavistas were very obviously uncomfortable and thrown off stride by being confronted in a situation they could not control. Overall, I think that this will be considered a game changer.<br /><br />One thing I would like to know is how many Venezuelans actually saw this.Roynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-74524688321438668192014-04-12T17:50:03.028+02:002014-04-12T17:50:03.028+02:00It seemed to me that the government representative...It seemed to me that the government representatives were lost in a fantasy world of there own making, and never once answered or responded to any charges against the government or the conditions existing in Venezuela.rom2894https://www.blogger.com/profile/06287257827206004328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-19406134311091157182014-04-12T15:04:22.592+02:002014-04-12T15:04:22.592+02:00To me the intervention that could make possible th...To me the intervention that could make possible this unraveling of the thread was Ramos Allup. With a sarcastic tone (burlon. goguenard) he made quite a show in front of the whole nation telling just the truth, may be not the whole truth for lack of time, but nothing but the truth. Diosdado facial expression was priceless. I loved his last sentence, calling Maduro "Nicola", a total lack of respect in this setting.Charlynoreply@blogger.com
