Dear Journalists,
Otto Reich, former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela, wrote the following
article in the Wall Street Journal published on February 11, 2013:
In Venezuela, Plenty of Oil, Not Enough Food
Venezuela is going through a terrible ordeal where many are suffering a desperate lack of supplies. While many people oppose the Hugo
Chavez regime, there are elite groups who support him and call themselves
socialists, or communists or whatever. I have seen individuals who belong to those
groups trash Americans, the United States, and developed and organized
countries. The odd thing about these individuals is that they are all educated,
live in beautiful houses, love good wine, good food, elegant people, drive imported
automobiles, and travel abroad at will. In 2005 I wrote a blog posting about an
argument I had with a college professor in Venezuela that represents the same
issues involving those elite groups:
Hugo Chavez’s government does not seem to match European socialism,
nor even communism as a regime. His administration seems to be just a corrupted
group of individuals ransacking the nation.
Cartoon by Rayma:
The International Court of Justice, busy at it is, should
make time to prosecute Hugo Chavez, and his thugs who survive him, for fraud if
the alleged algorithms and open violation of the vote are true.
Venezuelans need help from world leaders, and the
International Court of Justice, to resolve abuse of power in Venezuela and
restore democracy.
Cordially,
Maru
