I think I will take a closer look at that.<br /><br />Support from Europeans has become more difficult. The oppo should, if possible, inform how those supporting Chávez in Europe<br />and increasingly in Latin America are the most extremist (well, if possible, we have other priorities).<br /><br />Sfia Bouarfa is a Morocco-born socialist who automatically takes as "social" anything that is associated with anti-US talk. <br /><br />Her Socialist Party is perhaps the most stuck-in-the-past in Western Europe and she is on the radical side of it. <br /><br />I have seen in a blog from the Linke that even within them (of all people) there are people who are not so happy (but of course, they are not very vocal about it, pa' fuera es otra historia).Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-80963655560215066252010-07-21T00:37:24.388-07:002010-07-21T00:37:24.388-07:00In the chilean senate only 3 voted against the pro...In the chilean senate only 3 voted against the proposal to sent observers to the elections. 1 abstention. 15 senators voted in favour. Some Senators from the Concertación parties have supported the proposal. <br />Chavista apologets in Europe often present the "bolivarian" "revolution" as kind of a avandgarde of a more broad left turn in Latin American politics. One of their many lies. I do not mean a slightly more interested focus on social issues after very neoliberal times. I am talking about Chávez as avandgarde. There is data about votes of individual votes on the senates website. http://tinyurl.com/37yyfhm<br />The proposal to sent observers to the venezuelean elections was suported by the following Concertación Senators: <br />Isabel Allende Bussi (Socialistas), Ignacio Walker Prieto (Demócrata Cristiano), Andrés Zaldívar Larraín (Demócrata Cristiano), Hosain Sabag Castillo (Demócrata Cristiano), Patricio Walker Prieto (Demócrata Cristiano)<br /><br />Against the proposal voted Senador Alejandro Navarro Brain from small Movimiento Amplio Social, Jaime Quintana Leal from Por la Democracia, Eugenio Tuma Zedan from Por la Democracia<br /><br />Abstention: José Antonio Gómez (Radical Social Demócrata)Lemmy Cautionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722460849824703028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-3124219467893390982010-07-20T10:52:37.172-07:002010-07-20T10:52:37.172-07:00No, they haven't for Venezuela "because i...No, they haven't for Venezuela "because it doesn't change anything", as the CNE says, completely violating the law they should abide by.<br /><br />Some people demanded several times to have the counting for voters abroad published at the CNE site and the CNE just ignored them time after time.<br /><br />I firmly believe Venezuelans abroad should escalate this further: demand via the embassies and with open letters to the international media that votes be counted here and there and demand that international observers -other than the Chavez fans- be admitted.<br /><br />"Can anybody really believe there is neutrality in a country like that?"<br /><br />Nope.<br />They can simply "not care" because they will always justify Chávez as he is "the enemy of their enemy". There are also the ones who remain silent for the money.Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-7361439740503831952010-07-20T08:55:31.414-07:002010-07-20T08:55:31.414-07:00Has the "most modern system on earth" fi...Has the "most modern system on earth" finished balloting the 2007 referendum election? <br />Yesterday, Ultimas Noticias printed a blank page as a protest to military censoring their pictures on the front page.<br />Can anybody really believe there is neutrality in a country like that?<br />SheeshVicentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14010144635209936329noreply@blogger.com
