The Venezuelan Ombudsman Today Repudiated Violence


Gabriela Ramirez earlier today

Caracas, Apr 16 (Prensa Latina) Today the Venezuelan Ombudsman (Defender of the People) repudiated the violence from sectors of the right and called for peace against the opposition's attempts to destabilize, which seek to ignore the results of the presidential elections.

...

This institution warned that there is a defeated candidate (Henrique Capriles) interested in leading the country into violence between siblings who share beliefs, values and idiosyncrasies.

...

A statement signed by the Ombudsman, Gabriela Ramirez, also expressed rejection of the sieges of Venezolana de Television, Telesur and Radiosur and other community media.

It also condemns the violent intimidation, that was made against the Integral Diagnostic Centers (CDIs), which provide health services and belong to all Venezuelans.

It repudiates the siege of the homes of various representatives of state institutions, as well as related political leaders recognized as the favored choice at the ballot box.

It also supports the formation of a Shock Commando Unit, due to events similar to the coup attempts of April 2002.

1. "Shock Commando Unit"???

That doesn't sound good. At all.

On edit: What a shitty translation. "Comando Antigolpe" = Anti-Coup Command

2. Capriles must be a republican backed candidate. n/t

9. Unfortunately

when it comes to foreign policy in Latin America, there's not much official difference, especially with the DLC calling the shots But he does have more support from the Republican wing.

FWIW, Peter Tosh is the greatest reggae artist ever. I don't mean that as dis-respect to Marley, but Tosh is the best:

7. Thanks, that performance was a jolt I needed.

reggae musicians influenced me greatly throughout my long life. By inspiring me and keeping me going by sharing their spirit.

And by the way, as a small thing due to a small person, fuck Capriles and the culture he thinks he can buy.

8. I'm a huge Tosh fan

while everone in high school listend to Bob Marley, my close friends and I listened to Tosh LP's in my mother's basement. Good times.

6. That's only what some papers and certain people opinionate about the situation, not Capriles

You fail to show any actual proof of what I requested.
