Chavismo's #2 in Venezuela threatens to fire any public officials who sign against Maduro

SPANISH

http://www.diariodecuba.com/internacional/1462442758_22156.html

El diputado oficialista venezolano Diosdado Cabello, considerado el segundo hombre más importante del chavismo, dijo este miércoles que los funcionarios que sean descubiertos firmando en respaldo al referendo contra el presidente Nicolás Maduro deberán ser destituidos, algo que vigilarán revisando las firmas "una por una", reporta EFE.

"Si en esas firmas encontramos, por ejemplo, a un director de un organismo, ese tiene que irse, no puede estar en ese cargo, porque cómo es que va a estar en ese cargo y va a firmar contra el presidente Maduro", dijo Cabello durante su programa de televisión transmitido en el canal estatal VTV.


TRANSLATION:

The Venezuelan government deputy Diosdado Cabello, considered the second most important man in Chavismo, said Wednesday that officials who are discovered signing in support of the referendum against President Nicolas Maduro must be removed, which they will look for as they review signatures "one by one" , reports EFE.

"If these signatures are, for example, a director of a government body, then they simply must go, they cannot be in that position. How dare they be in that position and sign against Maduro?," said Cabello during his television program broadcast on the state channel VTV


Ah, such a wonderful thing, democracy and the difference of opinion. It's probably why Chavistas hate it.

Hey, chavista DUers? Care to say anything about this? Or are you gonna simply stay silent as usual when the regimes you support clearly violate what democracy is about?

How could it be that the governing party, which according to the mainstream discourse is plunging the country back into the dark ages, can receive 5.5 million votes even during a crisis for which it is being blamed?


Any more questions?
