Here is a bit of footage that I watched live last night. The election results had been counted and Hugo Chavez had lost. All the leaders of all parties had the results but could not annouce by law until it was “official”. 2 hours after they were due to release the news the opposition stood waiting still with no explainations.

Here we see what happens to whomever runs or campaigns against Hugo Chavez in his fake democracy. This is the 5 observers fro the opposition for the ‘NO’ campaign. These 5 were inside watching the counting of votes as is their official job and right. They were removed from the viewing and the Chavista supporting CNE (election regulation body) went off to another building alone.

You see here as about 40 military swarmed in and surrounded the 5 official observers from the opposition. 5 men in their 50;s and 60 and 40+ military soldiers with shotguns surround them and rufuse to let them inside to do the job they were certified to do by election law.

This is what Chavez called “the most advanced democracy on the planet”.

I dont recall other free nation holding party members at gunpoint while the counting is going on.

But the camera doesnt lie….does this look like a free nation to you?

The member of the opposition campaign been detained here is shouting at the soldiers to defend the people of Venezuela and not the orders of the dictator, asking where is there honor.

Complete coverage on last night here.

One Response to “Last Nights Vote”

Hello again Michael -

With all due respect to the nightmarish scene that you describe above, the fact is that those longstanding, exaggerated rightwing cries about Chavez being a “dictator” who wants to turn Venezuela into Cuba are increasingly threadbare and irrelevant!

Isn’t it interesting, on this that the opposition haven’t questioned the validity of the electoral process or rubbished the international observers as they did on previous occasions? So what happened - did Venezuelan politics suddenly clean itself up?!

Regards,

Robert
