So now let's see who's democratic and who's not...
¡Si hay paramilitares sembrados en Venezuela, sembremos la defensa popular!
(from VHeadline.com)
4:10 a.m. CNE president Francisco Carrasquero: Chavez wins 58.2%
Shortly after 4:00 a.m. this morning, National Elections Council (CNE) president Francisco Carresquero went on linked radio/TV to announce preliminary results in yesterday's recall referendum with 94.49% of votes alreadt tallied: President Hugo Chavez Frias got 4,991,483 votes (58.25%) while the opposition mustered only 3,576,557 votes (41.74%).
CNE directors Sobella Mejias and Ezequiel Zamora, known for their opposition allegiances, have launched an objection in a brief press conference following Carrasquero's statement.
Their objection appears to be grounded in scrutineering of the results since the physical voting slips have not yet been delivered to CNE HQ in Caracas and the numbers are based on data from SmartMatic voting machines used in Sunday's process.
Effectively, a recount has been called although there is little likelihood that President Hugo Chavez Frias' 58.2% majority win will be very much affected by what is now down to a paper trail audit.[/i] |

VIVA! :-D
Now I expect that a few of Chavez proposals (namely, unification of Oil public companies of South American countries... formerly known as PetroAmerica, and a new institution to oppose IMF) will get a green light and a speed up. :) |
