Venezuela's Political Disaster - December 7, 2007

Dear Journalists,

For the last few days the situation in Venezuela has been very tense. Chavez's police attacked a journalist from Globovision and another one from Televen. Journalists of the group de "Periodistas Unidos por la Libertad de Expresión" delivered a document to the main police station complaining about the attack against journalists doing their job:

Please know that perhaps Mark Weisbrot does not have loved ones living in Venezuela suffering daily mental abuse, and lack of food from alleged sociopath Chavez. It may be very easy for personal relations staff working for Chavez to be happy especially after the infamous leader is allegedly paying them what ever amounts of money while restricting regular Venezuelan citizens the purchase of foreign currency and other goods as reported by El Universal:

I would like to give special thanks to the Economist for writing article Defeat for Hugo Chávez "The wind goes out of the revolution"
