We will back a Democracy and if it isn't such we will back the will of the majority , which is in this case nearly 80 % against a Communist system. On December 13 it was a call for early elections, what's wrong about it? in any democratic country when most of the population are on Peaceful Civil Disobedience and asking for elections they get elections. It is not unconstitutional, Chavez did it 6 times when he had a honey moon with the Population Almost 80 % of us voted for him. But now almost 80 % want a divorce. It is different from Argentina in some of the reasons for the demand, it is similar in the economic outcome of his 4 years in power, but different in the most important thing, Argentina wasn't on the pad of a Communist Dictatorship and the government wasn't acting as the Legislative, >Execyutive, Judicial and the Public and Human rights Power disregarding the separation of powers, SIMILAR : WE WANT LEGAL ELECTIONS nothing else Regarding the difference that: """Duhalde's call in Argentina came from someone who had no direct stake in the election outcome, because he is not a candidate. The U.S. call echoed the position of Chavez's opponents, whose open agenda is to oust him."" it is ridiculous to say that, in Argentina the idea was to get rid of an inept government too, In Venezuela we want the same and none of the spokers of the Civil Society and the Coordinadora Democratica is or will be a candidate, There is no candidate or Pre candidate yet, when the time comes there might be 10 candidates (for our bad luck) and for closing , lets hope USA and the World doesn't make the mistake they did by tie up the Shah Reza Pahlavis hands and opening the way to that terrible Jumeinis dictatorship . in here we might have a Chavez Radical Communist Dictatorship We are fighting only for our natural right to have a Democracy and a western style of life,, There is a saying: Every people have the Government they deserve. We don't deserve a Communist State and will not have it
