'Houd je waffel eens dicht'
SANTIAGO - De Spaanse koning Juan Carlos heeft tijdens een topontmoeting van Spaanse, Portugese en Latijns-Amerikaanse leiders in Chili fel uitgehaald naar de Venezolaanse president Hugo Chávez. ,,Houd je waffel eens dicht'', zei de koning met opgeheven vinger tegen Chávez. Steen des aanstoots waren opmerkingen van Chávez over de vorige, rechtse premier van Spanje, José Maria Aznar. De linkse populist Chávez, niet vies van provocaties, had de oud-premier bij herhaling een fascist genoemd en daar sprak Zapatero hem op aan. Chávez was niet onder de indruk en hij herhaalde tot irritatie van de Spanjaarden de kritiek op Aznar. Zapatero wees Chávez erop dat Aznar weliswaar een politieke tegenstander was, maar ook een democratisch gekozen functionaris die respect verdient. Juan Carlos, gezeten naast Zapatero, ergerde zich zo aan Chávez dat hij tijdens het debat tussen Zapatero en de Venezolaan voor het oog van de camera's uit zijn koninklijke rol viel. http://www.ad.nl/buitenland/article1813874.ece Ondertussen heeft de politie nogmaals geschoten op demonstranten die de democratie willen waarborgen in Venezuela.. ![]()

Niet mee eens? Het staat je vrij zijn om zijn bevoegdheden (per devreet regeren) of levenslange aanstelling (afschaffing termijnen) te weerleggen. Zolang die twee dingen staan blijft Chavez echter een dictator, die zoals de Spaanse koning al zo vriendelijk en diplomatiek stelde, zijn waffel zou moeten houden.

Als koning is het weliswaar niet gepast om je in een politieke discussie te mengen, maar het is al helemaal ongepast om je politieke tegenstander een facist te noemen, zeker als deze democratisch gekozen is (in tegenstelling tot de dictator Chávez). Goed dat iemand die irritante blaaskaak van een Chávez eens goed de waarheid durft te zeggen. ![]()

Daarbij vergetend dat je een grondwet altijd kan aanpassen en dus eigenlijk jezelf eerst de macht verkrijgt om het te veranderen. Die vergelijking is eigenlijk ook te trekken naar Venezuela. Daar zullen soortgelijke domme, misleidende argumenten worden gebruikt om te zorgen dat de wijzigingen er door komen. Dan heeft Chavez het fiat makkelijk om dingen te veranderen om zijn macht te verstevigen (vergeet niet dat hij een meerderheid in het parlement heeft, dus alle wetten kan doorvoeren). En dan krijg je verkiezingen in de lijn: Je mag zowel op christelijke en niet-christelijke partijen stemmen, maar de PvdA, SP, VVD, D66, GroenLinks, PvdD (partij die niets van dieren weet), TOS en Partij voor de Vrijheid. Je mag dus kiezen tussen CDA, CU en SGP. Je kan dat volledig democratisch noemen, maar je kan aan je water voelen dat er een chriselijke partij de verkiezingen gaat winnen.

Daarnaast vind ik het opvallend dat de aantijgingen van Chavez, dat Aznar meehielp om hem dmv een couppleging van zijn troon af te stoten, inhoudelijk onbeantwoord blijven. De Spaanse koning komt niet verder dan 'Houd toch eens je waffel'. Ik zou zeggen, houd zelf je waffel, als je niks inhoudelijks hebt te zeggen. |

Op pagina's 3, 4 en 5 heb ik alle verzinsels van T_ID al minstens zes keer weerlegd. Ik heb veel tijd en moeite gestopt in uitgebreide weerleggingen van zijn claims. Die heb ik ook meerdere malen onderbouwd met bronnen. T_ID heeft deze genegeerd en niet gereageerd; en meelopers als Kitten85, Eye of Sauron en natuurlijk Kazet Nagorra hebben alleen gereageerd met persoonlijke aanvallen richting Chávez. Zelf leveren ze nooit één bron.

![]() Nee gast, je bent gewoon niet voor rede vatbaar. Kijk, ik denk ook wel dat Chávez beter is dan een of andere Afrikaanse dictator, en misschien zelfs wel beter dan Bush. Maar de "democratie" in Venezuela is mijlenver verwijderd van ontwikkelde democratieën zoals die in Nederland en Scandinavië, en dat beetje dat er is probeert Chávez af te breken. Als je dat ontkent, ben je gewoon blind. |

Integendeel zelfs, Chavez heeft met Venezuela een eigen imperialistische agenda. De Navo houdt een invasie van Nederland door Chavez tegen, maar Colombia heeft meer problemen door de hulp van Chavez aan de Farc, die hen waarschijnlijk voorziet van middelen en wapens, en zeker betrokken is bij het witwassen van drugsgelden.

Speciaal voor Kazet nog eens:
Chavez Proposes End to Term Limits Thursday August 16, 2007 4:46 AM By CHRISTOPHER TOOTHAKER Associated Press Writer CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez called for radical changes to Venezuela's constitution Wednesday night, proposing reforms that would eliminate current limits on his re-election and extend presidential terms. Chavez, speaking to the National Assembly, said presidential terms should be extended from six to seven years. But the self-styled revolutionary who is seeking to transform Venezuelan society along socialist lines denied he wants lifelong power as his opponents allege. ``I propose to the sovereign people the 7-year presidential term, the president can be re-elected immediately for a new term,'' Chavez said. ``If someone says this is a project to entrench oneself in power. No, it's only a possibility, a possibility that depends on many variables. CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez called for changes to Venezuela's constitution Wednesday night, delivering a key address pitching reforms that are expected to allow him to be re-elected indefinitely. Chavez, speaking to the National Assembly, said the changes affect ``less than 10 percent'' of the constitution but would bring Venezuela ``new horizons for the new era.'' Chavez, who is seeking to transform Venezuelan society along socialist lines, denied he wants lifelong power as his opponents allege. ``They accuse me of making plans to be in power forever or to concentrate power. We know it isn't like that. It's power of the people,'' Chavez said. ``So many lies in the world. I doubt there is any country on this planet with a democracy more alive than the one we enjoy in Venezuela today.'' Critics accuse Chavez of seeking to remain as president for decades to come, like his close friend Fidel Castro in Cuba. They argue his main goal is to expand his power and ensure he will be able to run again in 2012. Chavez's political allies firmly control the National Assembly, which is expected to approve the reform plan within months. The plan then would have to be approved by citizens in a national referendum. Chavez has previously stressed the need to do away with presidential term limits that currently prevent him from seeking re-election in 2012. But he began his speech discussing what he called a transition to ``a new society'' and other reforms, including territorial changes. ``There are 33 articles that starting tomorrow will begin to be read, analyzed, criticized,'' Chavez said, adding that with the speech ``a great debate'' begins. He made clear who he expects to oppose him, saying: ``We can defeat the forces of (U.S.) imperialism and the servile oligarchy.'' Before lawmakers, Chavez held up a small copy of the country's current constitution, dating to his first term in 1999, and called it one of the world's ``most advanced'' but said he and members of a presidential commission have been ``working intensely'' on ways to improve it. Chavez waved to a crowd of cheering supporters as he walked into the legislature with fireworks exploding overhead. His opponents, meanwhile, attacked the reform plan. ``Chavez is seeking to reduce the territory held by the opposition and give his intention to remain in power a legal foundation,'' said Gerardo Blyde, an opposition leader and former lawmaker. He said many other reforms are likely to be ``red capes'' like those used by a bullfighter ``to distract Venezuelans from his real objective.'' Venezuela's Roman Catholic Bishops' Conference has also complained that Chavez's reform proposals were drafted without public involvement. Chavez, a former paratrooper commander who was first elected in 1998, denies copying Cuba and insists that personal freedoms will be respected. He and his supporters say democracy has flourished under his administration, noting he has repeatedly won elections by wide margins. In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Wednesday that the United States would wait for details of Chavez's proposal before commenting on it. He added that Chavez in the past ``has taken a number of different steps ... that have really eroded some of the underpinnings of democracy in Venezuela.'' Since his re-election to a new six-year term in December, Chavez has alarmed opponents who claim that he is headed toward Cuba-style communism. Chavez pushed through a new constitution in 1999, shortly after he was first elected. He said the charter must be redrafted so that Venezuela's capitalist system ``finishes dying'' to make way for socialism. Ahead of Chavez's speech, actors sang in the National Assembly as they performed a scene from the life of South American independence hero Simon Bolivar, the spiritual father of the socialist movement that Chavez calls the Bolivarian Revolution. Crowds of red-clad supporters cheered outside the National Assembly, holding flags and signs reading: ``Yes to the reform, on the path to 21st Century Socialism.'' Giant video screens were set up, and folk music blared from sound trucks near a two-story-tall inflatable figure of Chavez. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlates...853321,00.html |

"Venezuela is a major drug money laundering center due to its proximity to Colombia as well as to the size and sophistication of its financial markets. However, Venezuela is not considered a tax- haven or as an off-shore banking center. Rather, Venezuela generally exports capital in the form of capital flight to the US and other tax havens." http://www.hri.org/docs/USSD-INCSR/9...Chapter11.html Venezolaanse banken die al in verband werden gebracht met witwassen van drugsgelden zijn o.a. Banco Iindustrial De Vevenzuela en de Banco Del Caribe. Sinds Chavez aan de macht kwam zijn vreemd genoeg alle overeenkomsten internationale samenwerkingen om witwassen te bestrijden verscheurd. Chavez zelf staat, niet geheel onverwacht, op goede voet met de FARC.

'International herald Tribune':
Venezuela's Chavez asks Spanish king if he knew of 2002 coup SANTIAGO, Chile: Hugo Chavez suggested that Spanish King Juan Carlos knew in advance of a 2002 coup that briefly removed the Venezuelan president from power, stoking a diplomatic spat that arose after the monarch told Chavez "shut up" at a summit. Chavez, who was in Chile for the Ibero-American summit, claimed that Spain's ambassador had appeared at Venezuela's presidential palace during the two-day coup to support interim President Pedro Carmona — with the King's blessing. Chavez asked how deeply Juan Carlos had been involved. "Mr. King, did you know about the coup d'etat against Venezuela, against the democratic, legitimate government of Venezuela in 2002?" Chavez asked reporters on Sunday. "It's very hard to imagine the Spanish ambassador would have been at the presidential palace supporting the coup-plotters without authorization from his majesty." The Spanish embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, was closed Sunday and phone calls seeking comment went unanswered. No one was available to comment at the royal palace in Madrid, Spain. The spat began Saturday when Chavez accused former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar of backing the 2002 coup and repeatedly called him "fascist" in an address at the summit of leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. "Fascists are not human. A snake is more human," Chavez said on Saturday. Spain's current socialist prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, asked Chavez to be more diplomatic and show respect for other leaders despite political differences. "President Hugo Chavez, I think there is an essential principle to dialogue, and that is, to respect and be respected, we should be careful not to fall into insults," Zapatero said. Chavez continued to interrupt as Zapatero spoke, although his microphone was off. A frustrated King Juan Carlos, seated next to Zapatero, leaned toward Chavez and loudly asked, "Why don't you shut up?" The monarch then left the chamber. "They told me some Spanish officials grabbed him by the arm, because he's strong and tall. He acted like an angry bull" as he stormed out, Chavez recalled in comments published Sunday by Spain's El Mundo newspaper. "I'm no bullfighter — but olé!" Chavez, who faces violent protests at home against a proposed constitutional reform package that would greatly boost his power, said the incident had been exaggerated by the media. "I hope this will not damage relations," Chavez said as he left his Santiago hotel room Sunday. "But I think it's imprudent for a king to shout at a president to shut up." Chavez regularly accuses Washington of helping orchestrate the 2002 coup against him — a charge U.S. officials deny. U.S. and Spanish ambassadors did meet with Carmona and his newly appointed foreign minister on April 13, 2002, hours before Chavez was restored to power following massive demonstrations. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/...ez-Vs-King.php |

But he says he wants to remain in power for as long as Venezuelans continue to support him. The constitution is under review and Mr Chavez is expected to make changes to cement in law his socialist revolution. 'People decide' The details have so far been kept under wraps, but Mr Chavez has confirmed what many people expected - that he will be seeking to remain in power continuously. "It will be the people who make the final decision about how long I stay," he said on his weekly TV show Hello President. He said this is something that happens in many European and Asian countries and that it should not be seen as a threat. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6932605.stm Dus: hij moet nog steeds herkozen worden, ja. |
