on the subject. To question #2, I was not aware that crime statistics were being hidden, and no, I do not support that.

I do support the initiatives of the Government to try to deal with the problem, something we never hear from our Western media.

And I would like to know what policies the Opposition proposes to deal with crime. I have never heard anything from them regarding THEIR solutions to the problem. Obviously whatever they proposed did not convince the people to elect them. All I hear from the opposition is that 'crime is high and it's Chavez' fault'. That is not policy and will do little to reduce crime.
