"Gracias a Dios, gracias al pueblo y gracias a Chávez en Venezuela no hay un Gobierno que sea arrodillado a los bancos (...) si eso fuese así (...) aquí vendría un Gobienro represivo que los sacaría a ustedes de este lugar para entregarlo al sector financiero para que hicieran sus negocios". Estas fueron las palabras de Ernesto Villegas a finales de mayo dentro de la Torre de David en una reunión con todos los vecinos. Tan solo dos meses después, fue él mismo quien desalojó en horas de la noche a todos los habitantes para entregar la edificación, según información extraoficial, a un consorcio chino.
Translation:
"Thank God, thanks to the people and thanks to Chávez, in Venezuela there is no government which kneels before the banks... if that were so... a repressive government would come here and take you all out of this place to hand it over to the financial sector to do their business" These were the words spoken by Ernesto Villegas near the end of May at the Torre de David during a meeting with its denizens. Only 2 months later, it's Villegas himself who is now evacuating within hours of the night all of the inhabitants to hand over the building, according to unofficial sources, to a Chinese consortium (most likely the Bank of China)
So you see, kids? It's really not a problem if we're getting removed from the place we've been squatting at for the last 7 years as long as those we're being removed for aren't those nasty gringos. It's totally fine if it's anyone else, though, especially the Chinese! I'm curious to see how most of the families living there (all 1200 of 'em) will be doing a few months from now in their new "dignified" homes.
