Dear Editor: As a Venezuelan I feel disappointed by this "documentary" sent by your news network. I feel that you are providing an objective point of view for the totalitarian regime of Chavez. Let's remember that during his fleeing or imprisonment as you call it, military weapons were found in several ministries such as the Ministry of the Environment.
Several of his people fled and hid from government officials such as the vice-president Diosdado Cabello.
Let me tell you that I wasn't there during the "coup d'etat" however I've read, heard and saw images on TV regarding the incidents of April 11. I also had two family members on the protest for the opposition that swallowed and breathed tear gas from the Guardia Nacional.
Also you may recall Mohammed Mehri whose son was shot in this protest, marching of course for the opposition, Mr. Mehri was also attacked violently for protesting in front of Tribunal Supremo de Justicia by government supporters.
I think you forgot about the people that suffered through this terrible incident in the history of Venezuela.
Yes it is true that it was the fault of past governments that led to the rise of a figure such as Chavez. However, Chavez condemns coup d'etats, yet he attempted twice in the same year against a democratic government. However Chavez claims it was the beginning of a revolution and it was just cause. So this means according to him and what you show in your "documentary" that only revolutionary coup d'etats a legitimate. Chavez also celebrates his coup d'etat yearly.
I also believe you have forgotten that there were more than a million people heading to Miraflores on April 11 to demand the resignation of the President. You also seem to patronize his cabinet, please do some research in regards to this, or just clear the dust of the files containing the information of these people.
I joined this news media believing that it would show the truth, however you have just showed the opposite. In a country that is divided it can be hard to be objective, however if that is the case then either choose a side (publicly) or just shut-up.
It seems you enjoy so much President Chavez as if he is promising something in return. If you enjoy so much, Cuba is happy to accept media that sides with the government maybe more since you use the internet as a source to distribute your ideas or ideals, maybe Hitler would have loved a media of information such as internet and you guys would be the SS.
I ask that this you sent to be taken off the internet and apologize for this type of lies and deceit. Let's remember nothing last for ever not even Chavez and when he leaves the guilty parties will pay for destroying the nation, MY NATION (MI PAIS).
If you wonder, yes, I do speak fluent Spanish and English, and I study abroad in Boston. Also most of my family lives in Venezuela and I can't wait to graduate and return and help my nation, my country rid of communist, totalitarian and anti-democratic ideals.
Thank You for time, Enzo J. Labartino elabartino@hotmail.com
P.S. I hope to receive word from you and also to other subscribers of this message with in the coming days.
