Minister Varela threatens to put Henrique Capriles behind bars

Minister of Penitentiary Affairs Iris Varela said the government would present at domestic and foreign bodies evidence of the attacks where a number of healthcare centers were burnt and Chavezism activists were harassed during the April 14 presidential election and subsequent days.

Just like other government spokespersons, she accused opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski of igniting violence across the country because he failed to recognize the election results. She vowed to send Capriles to jail for such actions.

"Capriles Radonski, you will not be left unpunished for this crime you masterminded."

then he belongs behind bars. Wouldn't be the first time he was somehow involved in an attempted coup.

All the pretense that he was some 'moderate' have been blown to bits now, and thankfully so.

He was what we thought all along, a puppet of the West willing to do anything, even pretend to be a supporter of Social programs, to win for his puppeteers. Venezuela really dodged a bullet with his defeat and I hope a real lesson has been learned about people with his right wing background for the future.
